I remember when I took my son Tyler down to his first scouting meeting. Mr. Gelhorn pulled me to the side and asked me to become a leader. I was hesitant at first but ended up becoming a leader by his convincing. I do not regret becoming a leader under his supervision. I was a leader for 13 years at Christ Lutheran. I don’t think there was a better mentor. I offer my family condolences to the Gelhorn family . Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. - Posted by: Gary Post (Friend) on: Jan 21, 2018
