“I am very happy to be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Habitat for Humanity of Omaha as I was only 26 when I helped start it in Omaha, digging into my own funds and donating my labor to get it started over the first two years. My oldest daughter Cathy Tegels, and grandsons Briley and Brody Smithhisler helped build a Habitat house in May at Blue Stem. On October 19, I hope to build with them another house. Our goal is a decent house in a decent community.”
