Evans" Peterson Named Top Aggies Both Recall Their Outstanding NWSA Instructors

Marshall Evans '37 In presenting Marshall . Evans

his Top Aggie Award, Lucille Hedlund KiJdal his high school ambition was to be a "technical agriculturalist." He certainly did achieve that goal. After receiving a B.S. degree, with distinction, from the University of Minnesota and an M.S. degree from Iowa State University, Marshall

Harris A. Peterson '42

The term "vision" is used re-peatedly in descriptions of Harris Peterson. Dr. Larry Smith, super-intendent of the Northwest Exper-iment Station, reports that Harris has had a hand in the development and marketing of everyone of the specialty crops seen in the Red River Valley today.

led twenty-four years of the most productive sweet corn breeding programs anywhere in the coun-try, at the Green Giant Company. He then served for ten years as manager of production develop-ment for the International Division of the Green Giant Co. with major emphasis in Taiwan, France, Italy, Israel, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica and Yugoslavia. He was out of the country for about half of each of those years, and Pat . traveled with him half of that time. Marshall is now considered the "father" of sweet corn growing and processing in southern Europe and Israel, especially in France.

Pat Evans also attended- the NWSA. She graduatedin 1936 and was a special student of '36-37. Pat and Marshall were married in 1945 and have three married sons, all of whom graduated fronl the University of Minnesota Medi-' cal School, and twelve grand-children. Marshall says the boys

know that Crookston is the most important University cam-pus for them, because they owe their lives to it, as this is where

Harris started processing seed for farm neighbors in a quonset in 1950. His vision, determination, entrepreneurship, and hard work have moved his seed processing career from one Forsberg sieve mill and one elevator leg to an $8 million complex -the most modern and efficient mustard flour mill in the world. The fully computerized plant can be started up bypushing one button!

"We get busy in our own worlds, projects, and don't come back often enough."

In 1966, about forty growers organizeq. the Minn-Dak Growers Association under the manage-ment of Harris. The association now has about twelve hundred member-growers in the Coopera-tive and contracts and processes specialty crops produced on about 125,000 acres yearly.

and now they travel much, visiting friends and family. They are enjoy-ing their' music and flowers. Marshall and Pat have participa-ted in Boy Scouts, the Catholic church, the LeSueur Country Club, the public school music progx:am, Rotary International, the UMC Advisory Board, and recently the UMCAssociates 1000 Club.

"I think that the stu-dents andfaculty were the finest people with whom I have ever asso-ciated in all my life."

Marshall is remembered as being persistent during his high school days, and as having a commit-ment, a concern for mankind. His persistent digging to find the

About 60 percent of the total business of the Association is now in the import / export field. In 1969, when relations between the United States and China were strained, they started importing various seeds from China. Minn-Dak now has an office in Los Angeles to handle the' import/ export commodities of human food and bird food products . .

The Peterson family farm in Kittson county is now operated by 'Harris' son, Harold, and his daugh-ter, Janet, is involved in the Minn-Dak Seeds Limited Business. Harris is married to Beulah Ann (BJ) Peterson and they reside in Grand Forks, ND.

Harris is involved with the North Dakota Export Trading Corpora-tion and began a term on the North Dakota Export Council Board in July. He serves as presi-dent or general manager of nine corporations involved in the pro-cessing, storage, marketing, and manufacturing of various specialty crops. He serves as director and has a controlling interest in the

correct answers helped to earn him the position of Valedictorian of the NWSA class of'37, it helped him to work his way through college, to achieve academically and professionally a,nd personally ever since.

Accepting the Top Aggie Award, Marshall said he thinks he is a representative of so many Aggies who are worthy. "Considering all the noble human traits, I think that the students and faculty I was fortunate to associate with here, were the finest 'people with whom I have ever associated in all my life." And the connections from the NWSA continued for Marshall. His faculty advisor during grad-uate school at Iowa State Univer-sity was Iver J. Johnson, NWSA class of-t23, who received the Top Aggie Award in 1973.

"Since th-e NWSA gave us simply almost perfect foundations, and the college continued with excel-lence; I think it is really fitting and right that we contribute good words in s'upport of this college where they coun , and otherwise as we may choose."

Crookston National Bank and is a major shareholder in the Karlstad State Bank. Harris is also a great supporter of the University of Minnesota and was one of our charter members of the Presidents Club at the of Minne-sota-Crookston.

During the NWSA reunion Harris told how getting up at 4:;30 or 5:00 in the morning got to be quite a habit for residents of Senior Hall on campus. It seelns they would get up that early and have light signals to communicate to tht.' people in Robertson to set up a meeting! He says he 'never really got over that habit. He still gets up that early to get started his very exciting business, with so Inany things still to do.

Harris is proud, pleased to have had . the opportunity to corne to school at the NWSA. "The inspira-tion you get from faculty Inembers and fellow students st.icks with you a long time."

From the President This mailing goes out to about 3,500 alumni. We don't need much from each if we all participate. If each of us gave $10.00 per year, we would far exceed our goal of $80,000 by the 80th Anniversary of the NWSA Alumni Asso-ciation in 1991.

Dick Widseth

The Northwest School Heritage FU'nd will soon be a reality. The stated purpose -"To keep

alive the spirit of the Northwest School of Agriculture" - should appeal to all former Northwest AGGIES.

This fund is intended to: (1) provide scholar-ships to descendents of NWSA students, (2) further develop and improve the Alumni Center and it's archives, and (3) preserve the mem-ories of the thousands of former students, faculty, and staff.

These are good goals for each of us. We all took something with us when we left NWSA and now we must put something·back.

There will be some larger gifts and they are necessary to the success of any fund drive. However, I believe that this venture will live or die -succeed or fail -based upon everyone participating with moderate gifts on an ongoing basis.

We can't leave this to the future generations - they're not making NWSA Aggie Alumni anymore - it's up to us.

Dairy Research and Teaching Center Dedicated

Oscar Lee Honored

ROyer Odegaard '60 (LJ and Dr. George Marx (R), Dairy Science Professor at the Northwest Experiment Station.

.Just a year ago the 1906 built dairy barn, a memory for all Aggies, was torn down. And now on July 15, during the Northwest Experiment Station's annual Crops and Soils Field Day, the replace-ment for that Northwest Experiment Station landmark was officially dedica-ted. The new Dairy Research and Teaching Center combines, as part of a state-wide dairy research and education effort, the functions of research, teaching, and ser-vice through the station, the college, the ('xtension service and the dairy industry.

Roger Odegaard '60, chaired the dairy industry support group for the facility. In his remarks at the dedication, Roger reminded everyone that "dairying is the # 1 industry in northwestern Minnesota," and that the dairy research herd at the NWES is "centrally located in a dairy belt that runs from Roseau countyto south of the Fergus Falls area." Realizing the important role of dairying, the dairy industry support group worked "not only to get the appropriations necessary, but believed in this program enough that they were willing to contribute their own money to make this facility possible."

The Experiment Station and the Univer-sity are especially important to us said Roger," ... at a time in agriculture when the only way to succeed in dairying is to become more efficient and a better oper-ator. The time has come that when our children graduate from high school, we can no longer hand them a pitch fork and a scoop shovel and expect them to make a success of dairying. That is why the oppor-tunities here at UMC, where youth can come and get management skills and hands-on experience, is so important."

The new Dairy Research and Teaching Center will be used to continue the applied research in nutrition, breeding and management and to test and demon-'strate. high technology in the environ-mental area, 'record management, data collection, milking procedures, feeding, and labor saving systems. New courses in animal breeding and nutrition are being planned.

The facility is not quite complete. There is space for a milking parlor which will be built as applied technology is proven and funds are available.

A reunion attendance record has been set by Oscar Lee '13. He has traveled from the Cambridge area to Crookston for more than thirty consecutive reunions, and was presented with a plaque at the 1987 banquet as an "Expression of Appreciation for Faithful Dedication and Countless Years of Attendance at NWSA Alumni Reunions."

As you might expect of someone who has been around for that much story telling, Oscar had some memories to share with all of us who had not seen the school in its early days.

Oscar's father brought him to see the school in 1906, when it was lots of mud and not too many buildings yet. The superintendent'swife told them they had "so many boys wanting to go to school here ... they only had room for them on the third floor ... there were so many boys they had three six-faoters in each bed!" His dad thought it must be a good place to go to school, and that's how Oscar was sent here. "I'm sure nobody here can say they saw this place in 1906 and 1907, but I did."

The plaque is at the White House because that's where Oscar thought it would be best to keep it. Please come by and see it.

Hafslo' Church Dedicated

Charlene Walters Stromstad '43, invited everyone at the banquet to attend the dedication of the Hafslo Church across the road from the White House the day following the NWSA reunion. She pointed out the connection we have in that corner of the campus - a home, a school, and a church - the basic elements that tie together our society.

Harold Moe '57 flew in early for the reunion and spent Friday polishing pews and helping with other church dedication preparations.

Comments were heard during reunion visiting about who got married in that church when, it has many connections to Aggies. .

Krogstad Sisters Gather '37 Highlights

The Krogstad family from Fertile has a strong connection to the Northwest School: Seven members of that one family graduated from the school between 1925 and 1940. For close to twenty' years, at least one child from that family-was here. That's a lot of school history stored in one family. .

Four of the five sisters were here for

Reunion '87 to recall some of those times. Pictured (l to r) are Louise Schon '40, Littleton, CO; Helen Clementson '34, Erskine, MN; Emma Olson '30, Beltrami, MN; and Alma Scerri '29, San Pedro, CA. Janet '37, St. Paul, was unable tojoin the family/school reunion.

The two Krogstad brothers, Elmer '25, and Clarence '27 are deceased. .

Quartet of 3 'Performs The Class of '52 started an entertain-

ment tradition at the '87 reunion banquet. A singing group from that class performed for us "My Wild Irish Rose." Now, do you know wbo they were? They called them-selves a quartet of three because one of their former members did not participate. Have you guessed yet who the quartet is? Chuck Holmquist, Laurie Mykelby, Ralph Tucker sang, and Perry Brantner did not. George French, UMC ditector of music and theatre, accompanied the group, and sang aJew notes too. We all enjoyed this speCial reunion of performers. I'll bet there are some other famous? combos out there for future reunions. Who do you remember performing when you were here? Wouldn't it be great to hear some of those acts again?

'62 Class Celebrates

(l to r): Dan Durand, David Wolz, and David Brule reminisce under the banner hand drawn by the daughter oj George Proulx '62.

The class of '62 celebrated its 25 year reunion with great vigor. Twenty-one class members and their guests shared this special day. After the school banquet they adjourned to a Crookston club for an evening of rock-n-roll from the 50's and 60's spun by KROX's "An Evening at the Oldies" host, Tom Helgeson. Reports indi-

cate that after twenty-five years, the dance fever is still there.

Some of the organizers of this event prepared a banner for everyone to auto-graph. Now, if you weren't here, you'll probably have to wait for the 50 year reunion to see it!

/

'37 was a very good year at the North-west School. Just ask any of the 32 class members who turned out for the 50 year reunion. They started arriving on campus on Friday - campers parked in the White House Alumni Center parking lot and the party began! Class leaders arranged for a Friday night get together at the Crookston Minakwa Country Club and several people were able to get here in time for it.

In honor of 50 years, the class had anniversary cake and coffee during the Saturday afternoon reminiscence time. Though they had a lot of talking to do, they did break away from each other long enough to get their picture taken and visit with others attending.

Not only did members participate in this significant reunion, their class, advisor, Katherine Hennig, was here as well. She recalled the class was energetic and interested in everything - and they still are. And class members found her to be the warm, interesting, energetic person they remembered so fondly from high school days. Katherine provided a special treat for the whole reunion, as well as the class of '37, by performing two songs during the banquet. She was accompanied by George French, director of music and theatre at UMC, who was a student at Augsburg College when Katherine was teaching there.

NWSA Students Celebrate with Former Instructor

January 1987. Agroup of NWSA students of Miss Elvira Bierbauer gathered at the Jones-Harrison Retirement Home in Minneapolis to honor Miss Bierbauer's 95th birthday. Members of the class of'41, their families, and Miss Bierbauer's sister, Norma enjoyed a fun filled time of

"remembering" and eating birthday cake and ice cream with a wonderful person. Miss Bierbauer, a vocal and music instruc-tor at the NWSA for a number of years, was also the class advisor for the class of 1941.

Attendingjrom '41 wereAltonKnutson, DorisSjostrandKelley, KatherineBrownEspeseth,Amy McVeety Haack, and Clarence Sargent.
