When he returned from the service, he started a career as a radio announcer at WCMP in Pine City. They moved to Duluth where Mitch worked at KDLH TV and Barbara at Wells Fargo. Mitch and Barb were inseparable - you would never see one without the other. They truly had a fantastic marriage. They also had many friends. Mitch had a great sense of humor, a kind heart and a love for animals. Upon retirement, they moved back to Pine City to be close to family and friends. They always greeted you with a smile and Mitch always had a joke to tell.
