The Beltz Family






The Father Unit:
His full name is Dr. David Eugene Beltz, but goes by the name Dave. He was born on the 2nd of July, 1949 and died December 7, 2001 from a heart-related illness. His death was sudden and unexpected; he is deeply missed. My dad had a family practice in Neenah where he worked as a physician alongside my mom, a nurse practioner. He enjoyed watching his children play a myriad of different sports. He was a humble leader, a dedicated physician, and a loving husband and father.

The Mother Unit:
Her full name is Ellen Marie Beltz. She continues to work as a nurse practitioner and takes care of more than her share of household tasks. She is also an active member of the community, in such things as PTA, soccer, volleyball, and other committees. Her birthday is October 27, 1955. She enjoys golfing, jogging with the dog, chatting with friends, and hanging out with us kids. Ellen can be reached at ebjogging@aol.com.

Sister One:
Her full name is Leah Marie Beltz. She is a currently a sophomore at Viterbo, a private college in La Crosse, WI. She is currently planning on a career as a nurse. Her birthday is October 7, 1983. Leah spends some time working at a hospital in the area as well as tutoring grade school children. Of course much of her time is spent with her boyfriend and other friends. She is a social butterfly. Leah can be reached at LMB77@aol.com.

Sister Two:
Her full name is Brooke Ellen Beltz. She is currently a senior at Neenah High School. Next year she will head off to college- where is yet to be determined. Perhaps St. Olaf (MN) or Marquette. Her birthday is November 19, 1985. She is captain of the volleyball and soccer teams at the high school. Like Leah, she also likes to hang out with her friends and chat online. Brooke can be reached at Oborke5@aol.com.

My Mother's Dog:
Jake is a yorkie-poo, a mixture of a yorkshire terrier and a poodle. This breed is usually brownish, but as you can see Jake is quite white. Jake is a fairly good dog, and almost fully housebroken. He is, however, very cute. Jake likes to play with his numerous toys, chase things, and chew on people's fingers. Jake as of now can not be reached at an email address.

My Dog:
Rusty is a mutt, most likely a golden retriever/lab mix. Rusty was put to sleep in summer of 2000 at the age of fourteen. He was with our family since I was eight years old. Rusty loved to play catch (he could hold 4 tennis balls at once). He was an excellent pillow, and quite a clown. Over the years, Rusty had a couple run-ins with the law as well as a couple runaway attempts. He was loved by all who knew him. If you'd like to read a paper I wrote about Rusty, click here.
