After reading the article, listening to the interview given by Mel Grulke as he walked down the streets of Hustisford, pointing out the town's history, and viewing the photos I realized how easy it is to miss and take for granted the things that are right in front of our face. Some people don't like to admit they are from a small town and I sometimes get that feeling but when you think about it, the amount of history that this small town holds is overwhelming. My family alone (Radloff's Cheese) has been a part of this town's history since the 1800s (I'll post more on that later.). This sometimes overshadows the amazing history of the town alone. 
This appearance on NPR made me appreciate more where I came from and the abounding history that comes along with this small town in Wisconsin. I conclude this post with a great sense of pride in my family and hometown history.
Note: Two of my uncles sing in the German choir also featured in this article. The history just keeps on stacking up.

Thanks for sharing! I remember when Bethany had services in German. Lots of history there. Miss the Radloff's cheese the most though:)
