Siegfried Schober
Retired; formerly a vocational school teacher for metal technology · Vöcklabruck, Upper Austria
For thirty-seven years Siegfried Schober taught metal technology, equally at home with a file, a welding torch, and a chalkboard; retired for three years now, he and his wife plan cycling stages along the Danube and trips to thermal spas in Burgenland, prefers to book by phone, and keeps four bee colonies behind the house. In the community garden in Vöcklabruck he's fighting a boundary dispute over a row of beds that he isn't winning.
