Review-News: 11/7/2007 : Holly Wenzel: George Rossbach, statewide senior of the year, isn`t slowing down
Any day of the week, you might find George Rossbach up at the Bruentrup Heritage Farm in Maplewood, perhaps swinging a hammer or hauling bricks.
That's if he isn't meeting with the local theater board he helped pioneer, leading event planning for Maplewood's 50th anniversary, or helping secure donations for local libraries.
He could, of course, be in his workshop, using a lifetime of carpentry skills to make an incredibly intricate bureau or wardrobe for a family member.
Or he might be serving on the Good Samaritan-Maplewood's Advisory Board, looking out for the needs of senior citizens who aren't able to be as active as he is.
Statewide accolades
Rossbach is so much a humble, ever-present help in Maplewood and Ramsey County efforts, it took until his 85th year for his name to come up in nominations for Ramsey County Senior Citizen of the Year.
