Heinz was a tremendous supporter of the Volleyball program at SNC while I was coaching. I truly appreciate our long discussions both before and after matches.
He would delay his racquetball games to celebrate or commiserate. He was our biggest cheerleader - I always took great joy seeing him in the stands for every match. I so miss his insight and wisdom. Thank you for the investment in me. You will be missed.

I had the privilege of taking many of his classes as a history major at SNC (class of "91). He was a wonderful professor who lived through one of history's tragic events. I felt as if I had traveled all of Europe during his Western Civilization class.

I have many fond memories of the classes I took from Dr Baader and the talks we would have about history and the lessons we must learn from it. His teaching was a major reason I added history as a second major . He was a major influence in my time at St Norbert and in my life long love of history. I was in the class of 1976.
