Treasurer tallies 39 years in Milan• Continued from B-llast minute to make payroll.“You’re always under the hammer,” he said, “all the time.”Wallrabenstein was going to step down a few years ago, but twice postponed it. The first time was in 1980 when then-Superintendent Charles J. Lindecamp announced his own retirement. Wallrabenstein said he didn’t think it would be good for the district for both to leave at the same time.After Donald Gfell took over as superintendent, Wallrabenstein said he was quickly convinced the schools were in capable hands. But the next year the money crunch was at its worst and the district was running a small deficit.Wallrabenstein didn’t think he should leave in time of crisis so again he delayed his move. Only when the budget was back on stable footing last year did Wallrabenstein allow himself to put in for his retirement.“I’m just going to try to relax a little bit,” he said of the future.But retirement will not leaveWallrabenstein idle. He is still a director of the Erie County Bank and chairman of the Erie County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Committee.And he’ll have time to visit his daughter, Laura, in Bowling Green, and his son, James, in Hawaii. And there’s always work to be done with John on the farm.“I don’t have to worry about finding things to do,” Wallrabenstein says with a smile. “It’s just whether I’ll do it.”
