Bridging Generations
The first time I visited Bill Wittenbrink’s home was the summer before I reached 9th grade. I went to school with one of his grandchildren, and I was invited to a small party to go swim at their pond. That was my first time meeting Bill and his family, and he made an immediate impression on me. I had never seen such a special place for someone to call home. The property is beautifully secluded, with plenty of trees for cover. There is a pond that sits in front of the house, and a path leading to a large dock accompanied by a small table and set of chairs. To the far right is Bill’s bridge, resting above the pond.
