The Real Story of Steve Schertzer

Steve Schertzer is many things; a father, husband, coach, teacher, mentor, and really cool dude. But mention his name around track & field fans and one thing comes to mind- the high jump! In the early 1970’s Steve held the world record (yes…world) for his age group in the high jump. He was a 4-time placer at the Ohio State Track Meet, 2-time state champion, he held the state record for a while, still holds the Upper Sandusky High School record at 6’9 and the Morehead State record at 6’10”. Following his high jumping career Steve taught and coached track in Florida for three decades. We are grateful that he jumped on the mic with us!

Real Frog Tales, Ask Why.

Ron Gottfried serves. He shut down German TV, cracked jokes to the media after the Carey Blast, saved the OU Basketball team from the Blizzard of ‘78, helped recover the missing OLC jewels, and helped build ball diamonds. He takes his job seriously but not himself, he is humble. He helped solve countless crimes over a long career as a peace officer because he is patient like a wolf...still he never solved a robbery. Allow me to introduce a man of wit, sound judgement, and fantastic timing. This is the story of Ron Gottfried.

The Real Reile Story

Jim and Em Reile welcomed us into their home to discuss their story. Through 65 years of marriage, these two love birds have been busy doing all the things. This was a winding road of a story...farming, law enforcement, high school sports in the 50's, Whitefish Falls' Upper Sandusky Connection, and much more. We all know winding roads are the most fun!

Historical Connections with Betsy Bowen

Real Stories values the passion that goes into keeping our history alive. Today’s guest is a testament to just that. A local historian who has spent the bulk of her adult life studying, discussing, teaching and preserving the past of this place. As a caretaker and records keeper for the Mission Church in Upper Sandusky, she has served a vital role in maintaining the connection between Wyandot County and the Wyandotte Nation. Her passion is contagious and her wisdom is priceless. It was a blast to sit down with her for a chat with Betsy Bowen.

Sue the Baker

Sue Baker’s story is lighthearted yet wonderfully candid. Since the day she was born (literally) Sue has been winning hearts with her wit, good sense, and industriousness. This one spans North America, going behind the curtain on some of America’s classic culinary delights. .
