together." Finney describes driving to University Park Mall, Mishawaka, in her Chevette with Uhlig as her passenger. The two would listen to the "Pretty In Pink" movie soundtrack over and over, arid discuss other music as well. HOST FAMILY During his American stay Henning was hosted by William and Roberta "Bobbie" Wilson, and their daughter Heidi. Bobbie Wilson recalls her German guest as being very focused on keeping things orderly. "Neat is the first thing that came to my mind," shared Bobbie in reflecting on Uhlig's first visit. "I have never seen a person who could fold and smooth out his tee shirts and pants like Henning could. ■They looked like he had used a steam iron on them." Wilson described Uhlig as making an easy transition from the German meal schedule where supper was enjoyed during the time of day when Americans normally eat lunch. "He seemed to enjoy our food and never

complained," said Bobbie, who also shared being proud of the man Henning Uhlig has become. EXCHANGE STUDENT \TO FATHER, BUSINESSMAN "The Henning I've observed today is a great father, a wonderful husband, and a distinguished businessman in Germany," shared Bobbie. After graduating from North Wood High School Henning returned to Germany for two years of study and graduation there. Currently he serves as Director of Head of Resource Management working with Group Compliance in tracking all suspicious activity to stop money laundering efforts (and other fraudulent bank activities) made by any customers using the Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, Germany. The Wilsons have proudly witnessed the young teenager rise from a foreign exchange student to an adult fighting money scamming at an international level. Hats off to 1986 North Wood High School graduate, Henning for all his successesboth personal and professional.

and Chief Operating Officer since 2003 and has been a part of the Culver's team for 19 years. He has helped lead the company in reaching and surpassing sales of $1 billion dollars, nationwide. Despite Culver stepping down to name a successor, he plans to remain a very active part of the company as Chairman of the Board and will continue to inspire the company to remain steadfast. in the beliefs and elements that have made the Culver's brand what it is today, which is quality food and an unmatched hospitality. Advance News spoke with Phillip Keiser about his beginning in the restaurant industry, his brand new promotion and his upcoming honor. Keiser is a Manchester University graduate of 1978 and said, "When I was finishing up my college degree, a chain called Burger Chef came to campus, and I interviewed with them. I thought it was something I could do and maybe give it a shot; so I did and the rest is history." Keiser remained with Burger Chef all the way through to its sellout to Hardees in the early 1980's and moved to Wisconsin to continue his employment within the company. He worked his way from a management trainee to an assistant manager, general manager, to district manager and then to become a franchise consultant. Phillip Keiser was then promoted to Head of Operations with Hardees and in 1996, Culver's was looking for a Head of Operations person and he was looking for a new opportunity. "Nineteen years later, and I'm still here," he said. Keiser has been the voice for the company for quite some time now and says, "IFs been

a pretty smooth transition at this point and all the senior leadership that is here at Culver's has essentially reported to me for 12 years, so inside the building, it wasn't a lot of change." Keiser says he has the full support of his family as well and that this promotion has been lined up for quite some time. "It wasn't a big change for me either and it was something that I had looked forward to and was something that I wanted," he said. During Reiser's visit to North Wood High School he is going to share some of his success story with the students and let them know that, "Hey, if you can get into something and you can get good at it and you like it and if you work hard, that things can happen," Keiser says. "I want them to understand that within the community they have their role models, their leadership and that they each can provide that. The lessons they are learning, either in the classroom or the football field, these are some lessons that they may not realize now, but that will help them through life." When asked if he felt like a role model to the students for his success after coming from a small town, Keiser responded, "I don't know if the know me or not, but where we do our business in Sauk Village, there are many similarities to Nappanee. Their school colors are even red and black and that is where Culver's was started, was in this little town. So, if they pay attention to what happened to me personally or to Culver's as a whole; that an idea in a small town can blow up into something really big."
