Mr. Blaesius, as well as being the owner and operator of the Blaesius Electric Shop in Waupun for many years, was a well-known vocalist and sportsman. He helped organize several chapters of Barbershoppers of the area, and was still singing with a group when he was 90 years old. He sang a solo for the luncheon of the first Trail Days celebration in 1979, at age 92. Until almost that time, he was still walking 2 1/2 miles a day. He had always been an avid fisherman and hunter. If the weather was good for fishing or hunting, he would say to his wife [Marie Feutz Blaesius], "Let's close the store and go." Yet he was a successful businessman. Everybody liked Bert.Acquisition
