Kee baseball coach Gene Schultz brings legendary careerto completion with announcement of his retirement

It's been labeled the "endof an era." But the man itmeans the most to calls it "thebeginning of a new chapter."

Gene Schultz, thelegendary coach of KeeHigh School baseball forthe past 45 years and thenation's all-time winningesthigh school baseball coach,had his retirement from thatlong-time helm made officialMonday, August 18 with theacceptance of his letter ofresignation by the EasternAllamakee CommunitySchool District Board ofDirectors at its regularmonthly meeting. Thatretirement brings to a close acoaching career likely neverto be rivaled with an overallrecord of 1,754 wins againstust 398 losses, but also opens

the door to a number of otherpossibilities for Schultz andhis family.

"It was time to come to thisdecision," Schultz said. "Andit's not because I don't wantto coach baseball anymore,

but more because there areso many other things that Iwant to do and will now havemore time to do. I'm goingto just relax for a while, getsettled into our new home inLa Crescent (MN), our firstgrandchild is coming alongin the near future, and I justplan to enjoy some qualitytime with the years I haveleft. I'm also going to try tofigure out what this gameof golf is all about, and thatshould certainly keep me onmy toes."

That move to La Crescent,

MN within this past year hasallowed for his wife, Julie,to have her drive time towork dwindled significantly,something Schultz says islong overdue for her andwell-deserved. "For 37 yearsmy wife drove from Lansingto Gundersen where sheworks, and with our moveto La Crescent this past yearI've gotten a small taste ofwhat she's had to go throughwith that drive for the past 37years," Schultz said. "Thatdrive for me this summer backto New Albin, and even all theway back to Lansing early inthe season because we playedour home games in Lansinguntil the field in New Albinwas ready, certainly wearson you. And it's probablytime for someone else to takeover and enjoy the programthat has given so much tome. They say all good thingsmust come to an end. Well,it's time for someone else toexperience more good thingswith this program."

Although Coach Schultzdid not want to speculateon who might have thatopportunity, he did say thata likely place to start lookingwould be within the existingcoaching staff. "It's notgoing to be up to me, that'sa decision the school districtwill be making," he said,adding that he'd be glad toprovide any input into thatdecision if asked.

Bob Wellendorf, a formerassistant coach under Schultzand Kee High School AthleticDirector, as well as a long-

time friend, says replacementof a coach like Schultz is notan enviable position. "That'sa huge role to try and fill,"Wellendorf said. "It could bea great opportunity for theright individual, but it will bedifficult to find a replacementwith as much dedication andknowledge of the game. Theythrew away that mold afterthey made Gene."

Wellendorf said he initiallymet the eventual legendarycoach when Schultz firstcame to Lansing in 1969,and then first coached underhim in the early 1980s asa baseball and basketballassistant before becomingKee's athletic director priorto his own retirement. "Whatan amazing opportunity forme," Wellendorf said. "I

know I would not have endedup where I did if not forhim. He taught me so much,his knowledge of baseball,basketball - all sports, really -is just incredible."

Wellendorf said hisinitial reaction to Schultz'sretirement decision was oneof surprise. "I thought maybehe would hang in there atleast one more year, I knowhe wanted to try and see the(Shooky Fink) field project tocompletion," he said. "But Ialso know that there are otherthings he wants to do in life,and now he'll have more timeto do those things."

COMPLIMENTARY

CO-LEGEND

Likewise surprised wasanother area baseball coach

of legendary status whosits just behind Schultz onthe nation's all-time careercoaching victories list forhigh school baseball. Fifty-plus-year Decorah HighSchool baseball coach DennisOlejniczak said of Schultz'sdecision to retire, "I wassomewhat surprised whenI first heard and read thatCoach Schultz had announcedhis retirement, knowing howmuch he loves the game. Buthe has certainly earned hisretirement from coachingbaseball. I am honored toextend my congratulations toGene on his retirement."

With Olejniczak's 1,341career coaching victoriessecond only to Schultz at thenational level, and likely tonever overtake that record, thelong-time Decorah skipperhas developed a tremendousamount of respect for hisveteran colleague. "Withouta doubt, Gene has had atremendous impact on thequality of baseball in the

state of Iowa at the highschool level," Olejniczakcommented. "He had a wayof preparing his teams in sucha manner that they wouldnever beat themselves. Youalways had to play some of

A case of legendary proportions ...Legendary Kee baseball coach Gene Schultz stands

beside a case in his home that holds the baseballs repre-senting each of his 100-milestone victories prior to careerwin number 1,700 recorded early in the 2013 season.Schultz announced his retirement from his legendar45-year career at the helm of the Hawk diamond programlast week, completing a careerrecord of 1,754-398.

Also competing for this year's crown were Taylor Peterson(at left), daughter of Jesse and Amanda Peterson of Waukon, and Allie Bieber (at right),daughter of Ed and Amy Bieber of Waukon. A major factor in the contest judging wasan essay each contestant was required to submit entitled "What It Means To Me To LiveIn Allamakee County." Shafer's winning essay reads as follows:

"It means a lot to me to be a resident of Allamakee County. I have been to many other places, butAllamakee has been by far the best!

One thing that means a lot to me are the people. One day my cousin and I were coming home fromour grandparents' house and two people stopped to say "hi". He asked me how ever ybody knew me andI said everybody knows everybody around here! It's also really nice when you go to the grocery storeto get one thing and you end up staying there longer than you expected talking to someone!

Living in Allamakee County means I can enjoy four different seasons. Each season brings differentthings. During the winter months, there's nothing better than going sledding at the fairgrounds on asnowy day. During Spring I love to go mushroom hunting at the family farm. Summer brings warmerweather and vegetables fresh from our garden. Nothing is better than biting into that first ear ofAllamakee grown sweet corn! Fall brings the spectacular landscape of leaves changing color. Leavesaren't only for looking, they're fun to jump in too!

Living in Allamakee County means you can go to or see many beautiful places. My favorite placesin Allamakee are near or on the Mississippi River and at our family's farm. The Mississippi is greatbecause you see many Eagles soaring around. I also enjoy intertubing behind our boat. At the farm Ienjoy watching wildlife, especially deer, four-wheeling with my dad, creek stomping, and climbing on

rocks.It means so much to me to be able to call Allamakee County my home. It isn't just one thing that

makes this county of ours great, but many different things!
