8 J T Janesville, Wisconsin Joe aster of Janesville, Wisconsin, is retiring this year after nearly 55 years of involvement in wrestling. Joe started as an assistant coach at Waterford, Wisconsin, High chool in The next year he took over as head coach of the Wolverines. uring his threeyear stint as head coach at Waterford, Joe coached six individual conference champions, two of whom went on to wrestle in college and qualify for the ivision national tournament. Those two, Pete dwards and Jerry Guth, went on to be successful high school coaches in Wisconsin. n 1966, Joe moved to Walworth, Wisconsin, where he started the high school wrestling program. The following year an opportunity to coach in a ivision high school presented itself, and Joe moved to Janesville, Wisconsin, where he was the head wrestling coach at raig enior High chool for the next twenty-one years. t raig, Joe coached 33 individual conference champions, 20 state qualifiers, seven state medalists including three state finalists. Ten years after retiring from coaching, Joe returned to raig High chool as an assistant coach for head coach Bill eary. He helped oach eary for five years before permanently retiring from coaching. ltogether, fifteen of Joe s wrestlers went on to wrestle in college. n addition to the two previously mentioned qualifiers, eight of those wrestlers qualified for the national tournament, and in 1978 Fred Townsend won the national championship under Willie Myers at UW-Whitewater. n addition to coaching, Joe was an active referee. For over twenty-five years he officiated high school, college, and, to a lesser extent, freestyle wrestling. Joe refereed hundreds of high school, state collegiate, and Big Ten dual meets. He also worked the W state tournament, the national tournament, the ivision national tournament, and the Wisconsin tate ollegiate conference tournament. He officiated the University of Wisconsin s orthern pen for 23 years, serving as head official for many of those years. n 1989, he received the tate istinguished ervice ward from the ational Federation of nterscholastic fficials ssociation. Joe was a charter member and served as president of the outhern Wisconsin Wrestling fficials ssociation and was a member of the ational Wrestling fficials ssociation. n the mid-1970 s, Joe began writing for The rossface, the state wrestling newspaper in Wisconsin. His involvement with the paper continued to grow until he bought into the paper. ince 1996, he has been co-owner and editor of The rossface. n 2001, The rossface was named ational Wrestling Publication of the Year by the ational Wrestling Media ssociation. Writing for The rossface enabled Joe to attend and cover many Big Ten Tournaments, Tournaments, the 1988 eoul lympics, the 1990 Goodwill Games, the 1993 lympic Festival and numerous other big wrestling events. He has interviewed such notables as Bill oll, liff een, Myron oderick, ergei Belaglazov, ee emp, an Gable, John mith, ael anderson, and many others.

Joe still lives in Janesville with his wife of 55 years Patricia. Together they raised five children--greg, teve, Jeff, isa, and an, all of whom have married. The asters have twelve grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. page 14
