Treigle trained under Baritone Robert Weede, and joined the New York City Opera in 1953, where he has sung an astonishing variety of roles and is now the undisputed male star. He has never sung at the Metropolitan Opera ("They never asked me," he shrugs. "So who cares?") or in Europe...

Sample lyric: "Keep away the flies from your baby's eyes." When not at work, Kroeker, the only U.S. businessman in Malawi, relaxes by climbing nearby Mt. Mlanje (9,843 ft.) or spending time with his Malawian wife and three daughters. Though he hopes to turn Nzeru over to Malawian management "possibly within two years," he plans to stay on. He is thinking of diversifying into other products...
