Teach A Man To Cook

While others ate his food, Dad dreamed up new dishes.

Both of our parents worked in the 1950s while my siblings and I were growing up in our small town in southern Wisconsin. My mother, Olivia Goede, was a registered nurse at Edgerton Hospital, and my father, Paul, was a chef. In the early 1960s, he worked at Mader’s, a top German restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
