Happy 90th, Bob!

Robert Spitzer (right) shares a laugh with Ken McAteer, one of the more than 500 people who attended Spitzer’s 90th birthday celebration at Veterans Terrace April 29. Several area elected officials honored Spitzer with proclamations from the state Legislature and Gov. Scott Walker declaring April 29 “Robert Spitzer Day.”  Spitzer was president of the former Murphy Products in Burlington and went on to become president of Milwaukee School of Engineering after serving as coordinator of the Food for Peace program under President Gerald Ford in the early 1970s.
