Blessed: 98 Years of Minnesota Memories

By Frederick A Schreiber

In Blessed, Frederick "Fritz" Schreiber recounts events over the last 98 years of his life, beginning with his childhood along Central Avenue in St. Paul, part of the Rondo Neighborhood that was later destroyed during the construction of I-94. While growing up, he attended McKinley and Mechanic Arts High School, two schools that also no longer exist.

In this retrospective he also shares anecdotes about his time at the end of WW II when he was stationed in Okinawa, his classes at Hamline University, his marriage in 1950, his teaching career at Henry Sibley High School, and raising a family on the East Side of Saint Paul. He describes his summers spent teaching drivers' education, working on the fireworks crew at the Minnesota State Fair, and fishing the lakes of northern Minnesota. He also includes his favorite lures for his favorite fish.

Through his near-century of recollections, he shows why he considers himself truly blessed.
