5/20/22 Allen Buechel Honored At FDL County Board Meeting
20 May 2022 News
Fond du Lac County Supervisors this week paid tribute to late County Executive Allen Buechel unanimously passing a resolution honoring his service to County residents during his nearly half century as a County Board member then County Executive. It was an emotional moment for many in the legislative chambers of the City-County Government Center including County Board Chairperson Sam Kaufman who after the resolution passed said it would be hard to look out over the chamber and not see Buechel sitting there. Buechel’s window Betty was there to accept a copy of the resolution and an American Flag that had been flown over the City-County Government Center in Fond du Lac. County Clerk Lisa Freiberg also played a video clip from 2016 when a number of people in those chambers sang the County song which was published in 1876. Always difficult to perform because people didn’t know the words to it, it was still near and dear to Buechel. Kaufman joked after it was played that any supervisor who wanted to know the words to it could ask former County Board Chairperson Marty Farrell who was in the back of the room.
