OSHKOSH — The Miss Wisconsin Scholarship Pageant has a dedicated and seasoned staff for the annual event held at Alberta Kimball Auditorium in Oshkosh.
At the heart of it the past 18 years were Sue Captain and John Schultz Jr., who had been co-executive directors of the pageant since 1988. The untimely death of Schultz in early August left pageant officials with a decision to make: whether they would replace Schultz or continue under the leadership of Captain.
The Miss Wisconsin Organization board of directors decided to go with Captain as the sole executive director of the pageant.
Captain said she's fine with the decision and that she has a lot of help in running the June pageant, which includes a parade in downtown Oshkosh.
"We have a seasoned board of directors and a lot of people who have been working with the pageant for years," Captain said. "Our Miss Wisconsin production crew has also been with us for a long time. We have a great group of people, who have been supportive and they know what they're doing. Everybody helps each other."
Those who knew Schultz said he offered much to the pageant and he will not be forgotten.
Mary Lou Lewis, a member of the Miss Wisconsin Organization board of directors, said Schultz was dedicated to his work with the pageant.
"His baby was to check with everyone in the auditorium to make sure things were going fine on show nights, even down to the auxiliary police who were doing the parking," Lewis said.
