Zaitz Brad Keizer and his fi ance, Deanna Balster, of Hot Springs, South Dakota, visited Keizer recently and had their picture taken in front of the Keizertimes offi ce. The trip was on Mr. Keizer’s bucket list due to his last name. As far as he knows he is not related to city namesake Thomas Dove Keizur.
