Novel: Beneath the Flames
Sep. 17, 2019
First rule of firefighting is to never enter a burning building alone. Sometimes rules must be broken, much like writing.Fire Captain Gregory Lee Renz was involved in a dramatic rescue of two little boys from their burning basement bedroom. He received a series of awards for this rescue including induction into the Wisconsin Fire and Police Hall of Fame in 2006. When he was asked to share the dramatic rescue at several awards banquets, he was moved by the emotional responses he received and was struck by the power of his storytelling. Gregory has always been an avid reader and thought maybe he could craft a compelling novel if he could learn how to get these stories on the page. How hard could that be? He would soon learn. In 2008 Captain Renz retired, exchanging his turnout gear for a writing desk to pursue his passion, storytelling. After numerous creative writing courses through the University of Wisconsin and countless workshops, conferences, and revisions, he finally typed The End to BENEATH THE FLAMES which was inspired by two adorable little girls, around eight and five years of age, who lived across from an inner-city firehouse he was stationed at for three years. Those two girls stayed in his thoughts over the years, demanding he tell their story. They are two of the main characters in the novel. He hopes he did them justice. After serving the citizens of Milwaukee for twenty-eight years as a firefighter, Gregory Lee Renz retired to Lake Mills, Wisconsin with his wife, Paula. Provided by Jeanne Behrend

What is Oral History? And Why Does it Matter?
Oct. 29, 2019
The term oral history appears a lot online, so much so that its true meaning has become obscured. Professional oral historians, such as UW-Madison Oral History Program Head Troy Reeves, have tried to push back against this phenomenon through his writings and presentations, including showing examples of “real” oral history done by Wisconsin organizations, including the WHS. So, join him as he answers two questions: What’s oral history? And why does it matter? Provided by Sherry Fontaine |

Now, she writes insurance information by day and children’s books by night. She has 10 books currently available:

Updates on MacKenzie Environmental Center
Feb. 18, 2020
The Friends of MacKenzie Environmental Center Articles of Incorporation were filed in December, 1978, and I have been a member ever since. I joined the Friends because it was easy to share the enthusiasm and vision of some of the early members who foresaw the need for educating grade school students on conservation and environmental matters outside the classroom. With an increasing percentage of our population living farther away from fields and forest, fewer family members are able to serve as outdoor mentors for our children. The MacKenzie Center continues to fill that mentor gap by connecting our young people with their natural heritage. I was first involved with the Friends’ Board in the 1980’s when I served with some other very dedicated people on the Board. More recently, since retirement, I have been a volunteer for work days at the Center and at Maple Fest. The best thing about being part of the Friends organization is the dedication and spirit of the volunteers and members which continues to amaze and uplift me. Provided by Jane LaMere |
