Haupt - Walter Haupt - Bog

My biography starts with interviews of early Minnesota German Immigrants written in 1937 by my father Walter B. Haupt Sr. I selected some of the most interesting stories from the 100 or so my father has written.
I was born in small town Minnesota a descendent of some of these German Immigrants. At the time of World War II our family moved to St. Paul Minn, where I finished high school and some college, before enlisting in the Air Force. I spent four years in the Air Force doing Photography. It was during this time that I got married.
After the Air Force I was employed by E.R.A.- Univac. Starting a family of six sons and three daughters. After three years I left Univac and was employed at Gamble Skogmo.
Many of my experiences are part of my 27 years at Gambles and as Photo Chief of the Gambles Corporate Advertising Dept. Along with the production of Market Previews, highlighting new merchandising and programs for our Gamble dealer Markets.
Along with many family experiences there are highlights of my volunteering. One of which was a program I set up to bring an entire household of furniture to over 500 families, through the local used furniture program " Bridging". There are snippets of my siblings, six sisters and three brothers. Also included are stories and poems written by family members and Grandchildren
