Weidenbach Dynamic Skating School alumni spotted on the Congo River
I was dozing in the recliner on Sunday afternoon, half asleep and watching River Monsters on Animal Planet. In this particular episode (S2:E1), he was on the Congo River in Africa fishing for the Goliath Tigerfish, a fish so scary it’s been known to eat crocodiles. He can keep his job, I do not want it.
Suddenly, this guy pops onscreen…he’s a local fisherman and river guide who lives in Congo. He only showed up for a few seconds but even in my sleepy state, I recognized what was on his shirt! That’s my name! I have that shirt in my closet! I was suddenly fully awake, scrambling for the remote so I could get this screenshot.
Our friend is modeling an authentic Weidenbach Dynamic Skating School jersey. The WDSS was run by Andy Weidenbach for over 25 years. Andy is the Varsity Hockey Coach at Cranbrook Schools in Bloomfield Hills MI, one of the most successful and respected high school hockey programs in the region. Andy is also a Special Assistant Coach with the Detroit Red Wings.
I always wonder about the random American T-shirts that show up around the world, and how they got there. It’s nice to see that donations are doing some good. We’re all just members of the worldwide United Republic of Weidenbach.





Here’s a couple of lovely little interviews with Ron and Lita Weidenbach who have been running Hawaii’s largest Tilapia farm, The Hawaii Fish Company (without electricity!) on the north shore of Oahu. They raise their Tilapia, along with Chinese Catfish, and Striped Snakeheads for sale in local restaurants and markets, They work with students from local schools to promote the future of Hawaiian Aquaculture.
