Ending a long career
Gerald Otte sat with members of his family during his retirement party held recently at the Public Works building in Wayne.
Seated by him during the cutting of the cake were his wife, Marilyn and their grandchildren, Gage and Blake Otte. Otte was recognized for working for the City of Wayne for 35 years. His co-workers also attended the event to celebrate with Otte.
