He was born on November 10, 1914, in Green Bay, WI, to Amy (DeSwarte) and Martin R. Fleischer. He attended Beloit College on a full scholarship from 1932-1936, and later worked as a correspondent for United Press and Time Magazine during World War Two, covering the European Theater of Operations. During the war, he was headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, where he met his future wife, Ann-Charlotte Ahman. Soon after Germany’s surrender, he joined the U.S. Department of State and, over the next two decades, the Fleischer’s were stationed in Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen, Prague and Washington, DC. After retiring from the U.S. Foreign Service, he opened a new chapter in his life, as a Public Information Officer with the United Nations Federal Agricultural Organization in Rome. He and his wife spent the next 20 years in Italy, living on a centuries-old farm they owned, where they made wine, olive oil, and raised chickens. The Fleischer’s moved to Petit Jean Mountain in 1990 to be closer to their daughter and granddaughters.
