Not ail his decisions or stands were popular, but when he felt he was right, he stood his ground. Perhaps his most controversial action was when he joined a lawsuit against the county after the Board of Supervisors, claiming sewage sludge was a health hazard, outlawed its use for fertilizer. Krebser counter claimed that sewage sludge was not a danger, and its use should be allowed. He later dropped out of the suit. Krebser’s last wish, to dispose of all junk-car sites in the county, is still to pass.
Perhaps because he never forgot his humble beginnings, Krebser was never too proud to do any task required of him, from pulling weeds to cleaning the bam.
He was known in less formal circles as a leading member of the “Lunch Bunch,” a disparate group that met to discuss, debate, and dine at various Rappahannock restaurants, most recently the Flint Hill Public House. Krebser, a liberal and Democrat, was not shy about expressing his well thought-out views winning the respect and friendship of most, including ultra-conservatives who were at opposite poles from his views.
