When Terry Jantzen started working for the City of Moundridge, Elm Street was at the northern edge of town, and the eastern extremity was just east of the high school. The longtime city employee will be clocking in for the last time next week after 39 years of service. A reception is being held in his honor from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10. “Thirty-nine years is a long time for somebody to be in one place,” Moundridge City Manager Murray McGee said. “There’s a wealth of knowledge there. He’s told us we can call him any time.” Jantzen was just looking for something different than working on the family farm with his father when he began working for the city in March 1982. He said Norm Unruh took a chance on hiring a 25-year-old on a temporary basis.
