In 1998, Fred was introduced to Bill Schneider through his daughter, Maria. Working together, Fred and Bill undertook the daunting task of renovating an old, one-room church that Bill had acquired years earlier. The mid 1800’s structure was in desperate need of more than a little TLC. After months of late nights and long weekends, the old church had been transformed into a home. In 2000, Bill and Maria were married and that “old church” became their home.
