Don "Re-Dad" Blose - Classification Talk
Don Blose joined Emmaus Rotary in June 2014. He was sponsored by Nelly Kabiru and has long standing relationships with many other Rotarians which prompted him to join the club. Some of those relationships go back to his years on the YMCA swim team with Jim Ritter. Don still holds the 8-9 year old breaststroke record from that timeframe; mainly since they eliminated the age bracket as he noted.
He has had many career endeavors starting with the property and casualty insurance business. He worked for MetLife, MONY, RCFK and KWN insurance agencies. From insurance he jumped to restaurant management. Don was in charge of Wendy's in Pottstown, PA. In an effort to find a location closer to home after successfully turning around a couple of locations, he decided to move on to another career since Wendy's was not allowing the transition.
This lead to Crest Abstract and Settlement USA, a title insurance company. He is a licensed notary and though he now manages the marketing arm of the company (Gopher Services), he still fills in for settlements once in a while. Gopher Services provides printing, graphic design and promotional products to help your company "market to the top".
Don is married to Wanda, pictured below. They have two children, Rebecca & Adam. Rebecca has two children, Weiland and Morrison. Adam also has two children, Janessa & Leo. The four grandkids call Don "Re-Dad", instead of other variations of grandfather. Don is a welcome addition to Emmaus Rotary and his colorful ties add a fun twist to morning meetings.
