Thank you (L-R) to Brian Bowles, General Manager and Nicole Kurth, from the Corp. Office (originally from Monticello) at Spahn & Rose Lumber Company in Dubuque, for a donation from their Foundation to Camp.   The Spahn & Rose Lumber Co. Charitable Foundation has been supporting camp since the early 80s and much of camp’s earliest building supplies came from the Monticello Spahn & Rose.   Those original 5 buildings built in 1973, have grown to 35+ buildings today!   Spahn & Rose has always had a genuine commitment to the customer, community, and passion for the building industry.  Personally, I credit Spahn & Rose with much of what I know today about the building industry, that has provided a foundation from which Camp Courageous has grown.    At the age of 14, the Dubuque Spahn & Rose employed me and taught me far more than they ever realized.  I am personally grateful for this 54-year relationship!   Had the opportunity to meet Mason Spahn, whose Grandfather’s house I painted with Scott Ransdell back over 50-years ago; Dave Nicholson, longtime friend and longtime Spahn & Rose employee; and Dave Davis, President and CEO of Spahn & Rose.  Great company, where giving back, is a cornerstone.-cwb
