It is with great joy mixed with sadness that we at the Door County Daily News see the final chapter of what has been nothing short of an amazing career has reached its finale. Paul Schmitt, who was with 96.7 WBDK and the Door County Daily News for over 30 years and witnessed the growth and changes of this industry, has written his last story.
From covering breaking news, government meetings, and high school sports, Schmitt has been a staple in the Door and Kewaunee communities. What most will remember about him is his kind and gentle nature, his willingness to help, and his genuine caring for his coworkers, clients, friends, and family. I know that I can speak for everyone with NEW Radio and the Door County Daily News when I wish Paul joy and happiness with Patti in retirement.
I know deep down that we will see, or rather hear, him again because broadcasting is in his veins, but until that time, enjoy sleeping in, coffee by the lake, and spending time with the family.
Congratulations Paul!
