Gerry Schmit's death at age 101 was published in Tuesday's News Graphic. Gerry was married to Harry Schmit, a great Rotarian, and she was a great Rotary Ann, as we called our spouses back in the days when all Rotarians were men. We had a summer fundraising picnic in Thiensville Park, with pony rides, brats, beer and music. She was a great worker, always with a smile. Harry, owner of Schmit Ford before son Tom took over, was one of the Rotarians that pushed for a Rotary Park project for several years before it eventually happened. He and Loyal Wells would drive around the area, talking to landowners looking for potential sites.
