Norm Rautenberg

33 Years with IBM

During the last 10 years I ran my own computer room and during that time relocated 650 customer lines from the 3rd floor to the 5th floor with NO loss of customer time.

The first 23 years I was a customer service rep handling 100 customer locations.

I was able to attend classes in public speaking and teaching.

I ran seminars for the Northeast region customer service reps on IBM’s bio-medical equipment.

25 Years with National Ski Patrol

I was a first aid instructor for both the Red Cross and the National Ski Patrol’s Winter Emergency Care (WEC). I also taught professional CPR for first responders.

For twelve years I was the Crew Chief on Sunday nights running a crew of 6-8 people.

10 Years a Master Mason (Masonic Lodge)

I was Master of the Wolfeboro Lodge during our 250 year anniversary in 2004.

Before beginning to travel I was the 7th District Education Officer with responsibilities which included giving education speeches to all lodges in my District. I was promoted to the next level but had to decline as we began traveling.

Norm and Diane Rautenberg

Diane and I formed and ran a couples club at our church. We planned meetings and activities. We also ran a youth group for the church taking the 7th and 8th graders on overnight weekends to the lake. We planned activities and fed 12 youngsters from our church.

At the present time we are “Care Givers” in our town. Donating our time and gas to take people to doctor and hospital appointments.

We were heavily involved in our church, on committees and running dinners.

Payroll Service

Worked for one payroll service and when that folded I was approached by another service and given the job of running the service. At one point I serviced over 100 customers.

Dinner organization

During our time with the youth group and church I planned and ran the Easter Breakfast with the kids. I also started the Corned Beef dinner tradition at the church for St. Patricks Day.

At the church we presently attend I helped run the Harvest Dinner every fall for several years. Later I organized ham and bean suppers during craft fair time. It did very well for the church.

At our winter home in Mesa Arizona a friend and I run the “loan” closet for the park – loaning out wheel chairs, walkers etc. free of charge to our park residents.

Homemaker for 53 Years

I brought up three boys, paid all the bills, and adhered to a strict budget. I cooked all the meals and kept the house while working at a part time job. (Of course with my husbands help)
