CEO, MICHAEL ROLFES, LAST QUALIFIED WITH WES IN JANUARY 2011 ON A FRIGID SATURDAY MORNING. THE TEMPERATURE WHEN WE STARTED WAS -17F. WE COULDN'T FEEL OUR FINGERS, SO WE HAD TO SHOOT A SKILL, WARM UP FOR 20 MINUTES, THEN SHOOT THE NEXT SKILL, REPEATING THOSE STEPS UNTIL WE WERE FINISHED.
WES WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL CONTINUE MID-WEST TECHNICAL SCHOOLS IN WES' MEMORY.
