Robert
J Lenz grew up in Shorewood Hills on the west side of Madison. My
father was a Professor of Civil Engineering at the UW. I graduated from
Wisconsin High School on the UW Campus in 1957. From there it was a year
at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor before I saw the light and
returned to the UW where I graduated in 1962 with a degree in Food Science.
Then it was two years in the Medical Service Corps in San Antonio. Upon
completing my service requirement I returned to graduate school in the
UW before taking a job with the Oconomowoc Canning Company in Waunakee.
I was in charge of Quality Assurance, Research, and Technical Services.
After going through a name change to Stokely USA in 1985 we were purchased
by Chiquita Processed Foods in 1999. I had been there over 30+ years and
it was time to retire. However retirement did not last long as I soon
joined Wisconsin Public Radio and Television were I worked in Audience
Services and Membership. My second, and I hope final, retirement occurred
in October 2008. Currently I am on the Board of Directors of ProRail and
Co-President of Theater Bus in Madison. Meanwhile I have traveled the
world by train, to the top of Norway, to the bottom of both Africa and
South America, across Russia, China, Australia and New Zealand. In 2009
I traveled over 20,000 miles by train, across and around the US. It has
been a long struggle (since 1971), but I hope to see Amtrak service to
Madison in a couple of years.
