his time with Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. “For 40 years I was paid to help people have fun. It was a very good gig.”
Previously involved in local healthcare governance, John is active with Erie County Historical Society, Sandusky Library and Follett House
Maritime Association. He was a recipient of the Paul Sherlock Award and enjoys flyfishing, golf, and America Civil War history. Married 46 years, the Hildebrandts have two adult sons and four grandchildren. For publication details, visit www.jmhildebrandt.com or email: hjohnhildebrandt@ gmail.com.
