Our ‘Buried Treasure & Family Secrets’ revealed 73 years later.
Growing up my dad told me an intriguing story about my great-grandfather Richard Pein who was at one time the Mayor of Berlitt. A well-respected member of the community, Pein allegedly buried gold coins worth millions of dollars beneath his pig barn shortly before the Russians invaded his small community at the end of World War II. Now, 73 years later I’ve finished a journey my ancestors couldn’t make and return to the home of where the treasure was allegedly buried. Click on the link above to see how the story unfolds.

Dealing with Dementia
My life feels like the perfect storm with winds blowing in all directions. However, my faith has always carried me through and it will again this time. The ending to my documentary about my dad is not what I thought it would be but I think it’s important to share in hopes of helping other families struggling with the same type of heartbreak. My mom and I are full-time caretakers of my dad who was diagnosed with Dementia and suffers from other major health issues. Once again, our house swarmed with firefighters & paramedics on a warm Wisconsin Friday night.
