He worked for InterCity Lumber Company in Gering Nebraska. Some of you who lived in the area may remember his radio show. It started with Ishie singing "It is seven fifteen in the morning won't you listen to my radio show.." which was sponsored by The InterCity Lumber Company. My Grand Mother Kennedy (ne Catherine Schmidt) had a radio tuned to the station Ish did his show on I remember waking up to his show for years, it was a death sentence to touch the tuning of that radio.
