He retired in 1992 after 32 years in the District.
Greg Broerman: Greg grew up on a farm in a small town in Iowa, his mom and dad still live there, on the farm They raised cattle and hogs and he learned to work the farm and drive a tractor from a young age. Greg's dad wanted his kids to also work away from the farm and see what else there is. He has 2 brothers and a sister and only his youngest brother still farms. Greg attended NE Missouri State and obtained a degree in Business Administration. He worked for a company that made feed and moved to Quincy, IL. After being laid off, he got married, hired on at Edward Jones and moved to Watertown, WI.

His son now works with him and will take over once Greg retires in July 2021. His daughters are both Special Ed Teachers. Greg has been a member of Kenosha Rotary Club for 29 years and was a Rotarian for one year in Watertown. He looks forward to continuing as a Rotarian upon retirement.
Thank you both, Jerry and Greg, for sharing with the club a bit about yourselves.
