George E. Berger Is Dead at 63
TWO RIVERS–George E. Berger, 63, of Riverview Drive, Rt. 2, Two Rivers,
longtime drafting and woodworking instructor at Lakeshore Vocational and
Technical School, Two Rivers, and operator of a firm manufacturing
educational and therapeutic toys bearing his name, died Monday night at
Two Rivers Municipal Hospital.
Berger, who was honored early in 1967 by the school's Quarter Century Club
after serving the institution for 25 years, became afflicted with a stroke
recently and returned home after hospitalization. He returned to the hospital a week ago.
Born in Two Rivers Nov. 27, 1904 to the late Charles and Amelia Kahlenberg Berger, he was a member of the first class to graduate from Washington High School in 1923. He then enrolled at what is now Wisconsin State University–
Oshkosh, graduating in 1926 with a degree in industrial arts. Returned to Two Rivers After teaching at Kimberly High School for four years, he returned to Two Rivers to become associated with the Hamilton Mfg. Co., where he worked in

A number of years ago he established the Berger Playcraft Co., which designed,
and produced educational and therapeutic toys. Creative-minded since boyhood, Berger instilled enthusiasm in aeronautics among the young people of the area by
developing a novel electrically-driven airport or space platform, which permitted young buyer of model planes to fly them like any powered plane.
A lifelong member of Grace United Church of Christ, his other affiliation was with the Quarter Century Club of the VTA school.
