After his retirement from the Army in 1969, Mike and Rasma made one final move with their family to Neillsville, WI.

Not one to stay idle, Mike started a very successful private investigation business that kept him active and on the road for many years following his retirement from the bank in 1993. Rasma's passing in1996 brought a dark cloud over his life for some time. He was fortunate to find sunshine, love, and support again, marrying Barbara (Bobbie) Kren in1998.
