MILAN By Susan Cottingham [email protected] By Sue Siefert Community Correspondent We salute Weberding Carving Shop, Inc. as they celebrate 75 years in business! Today the shop is involved in wood carving, custom-made furniture, statue refurbishing, wood patterns and church furnishings. The artisans have created projects for organiza- tions and private individuals, including celebrities through- out the United States. The Weberding brothers and their families hosted an open house in June to mark the milestone. Congratulations to Bates- ville’s Al Geis, who is a member of the Cincinnati- based Southern Gateway Chorus that placed thirteenth out of thirty choral groups in an inter- national barbershop- style compe- tition held in Al Geis Las Vegas in July. The vocalist is a longtime downtown retailer and a baritone voice in the 55-member chorus that sang 5-foot 2 and Mem- ories for the competition. Thank You to Batesville High School graduate Anna Sing, who volunteered to design a mural for the BHS cafeteria. Art teacher Mary K Cambron served as project advisor.

Those high school age or older are welcome to participate. An informational meeting will be held Sunday, Aug. 27, at 3:00 p.m. at the Batesville Knights of St. John Hall. On a personal note, it was great visiting relatives at the Riehle Reunion on July 16 at the Sunman Fish & Game Club. Approximately two hundred descendants of the late Nicholas and Mary (Schnei- der) Riehle gathered for a re- union that began in 1940 on my grandparents, the late Martin and Teresa (Riehle) Prickel’s farm. Over seventy-five years later the annual gathering con- tinues – with much apprecia- tion to Ralph Riehle, Melvin Schutte, Harry Laker, Jim William Weberding, father of Bill “Buzz’, Terry and Tim, established the company in 1942.
