He moved to CJVI, Victoria, in 1965, where he married Ingrid Bialowas in April, and to CFCW, Camrose, in November of that same year.; ; Goetze contributed in a major way to the growth of CFCW. When he began, he had the title News Director but it was strictly a one-man newsroom. His newsroom and staff grew substantially over the 30 years he worked for the company.
