NEW YORK – When a reporter asked Archbishop-elect Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee what he wants people to know about him, he first joked that they don’t have that much time, before letting everyone know that he is similar to a lot of Wisconsinites in how he was raised.

“I grew up twice a day milking cows, Brown Swiss. I’m not afraid to stand alongside anyone and roll up my sleeves and work,” Grob said. “That’s how I was formed, and so to stand with people unless I don’t know a particular field of study – I’m not foolish enough to go blind into a situation, but I firmly believe that we’re all in this together as citizens of the world.”
