History of Bill Viergutz
Bill Viergutz is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Mielke and
after his college graduation in 1981 he and his friend embarked
on the five month venture of hiking the Appalachian Trail which
extends from North Georgia to Mount Khatadin in Maine. This
started in North Georgia the first part of March and they
decided not to use a watch but would rely on sun time. This idea
was short lived; they were fatigued after the first day of hiking
and on the second day they thought they had put in a full day so
they pitched their tent, ate and went to sleep. They were
awakened with the sound of other campers rattling kettles so
they assumed that they had to get up and get ready for their
third day of hiking. They were wrong - the other campers were
readying for their evening meal.
He learned ofunendingkindnesses which were experienced
from other hikers as well as residents in the area, such as a
generous lady in her seventies who gave them a chicken supper,
a bed to sleep in and all for "no cost" because it was very near to
the end of the trail of their 2200 mile trek in Maine. Hikers
shared food and even loaned money to friend hikers who had not
received their money at the designated post offices as they had
anticipated.
That fall Bill enrolled at the Concordia Seminary in St.
Louis, graduating in 1985. He worked in several national parks
as a spiritual guide to park visitors because this service is
offered in all our national parks, and he also helped fulfill his
love of nature.
Last August he assumed the responsibility of a congrega-
tion in the Upper Peninsula at Covington, Michigan.
