Local business leaders from Albiero Plumbing to West Bend Vacuum Center to West Bend Lakes Golf Course and Auto Safety Center all spoke fondly of their moms.
Interesting to note what their mom’s made including venison pot pies, Christmas stockings and Jim Taylor said he couldn’t fake out his mom… she made him go to school.
Other moms in the community were known for their German recipes, zucchini bread, and even their work behind the bar.
Keith Keane and “My mother Doris Besh grew up in Cedarburg, Wi and I remember her baking bread and I’d come home from school and the aroma would fill the house. I’d cut a nice slice off the end of the warm bread and put on a hunk of butter, and it was just delicious,” said Keith Keehn. “She also made her own Manhattans, and she drank them.”
