Gopher Peavey 1969 - Department of Forest Resources
DEDICATED TO FRANK H. KAUFERT Professor and Director of the School of Forestry ... for his pm·t in having made many men into f01"esters. He has aided forestry student organizations in ways unknown to most students, always managing to come through for the students when they needed help. He has shared his many experiences with hundreds of students over the years, giving thern in the process the benefit of his rnany years of activity in forestry. He has always maintained an open door and a listening ear for students. He is a demanding teacher, a keen critic and a dispenser of good advice, but most of all he is a rnan the students might consider a f1·iend.

Maintaining this situation will require even more dedicated and improved in struction, far better teaching facilities on the St. Paul Campus and Cloquet Forest, and developing more effective channels of communication than now exist. Graduate student enrollment is down, from 65 in 1967-68 to 55 in 1968-69, due largely to the draft situ ation. There is every indication that this is but the lull before the storm and that graduate enrollment will rise rapidly, far more rapidly than undergraduate enrollment. About 2/3 of the graduate students are in Ph.D. programs and the remainder in Masters' pro grams. Since a good deal of our research is done by graduate students under the direction of staff mem bers, our research program during the past year has been somewhat handicapped. Doug Gerrard, who received his B.S. and M.S. de grees from the University of Toronto and Ph.D. from Michigan State University, joined us last fall as As sistant Professor in the forest measurements area. Tim Knopp, who earned a B.S. in the School in 1957 and an M.S. from the University of Arizona, was appointed an instructor in forest recreation. Tim spent parts of two years following graduation on bicycle trips around most of Central and South Ameri ca and Africa. This may sound like recreation to some, but sounds pretty strenuous to me. Tim's fabulous collection of slides has received much acclaim. Vilis Kurmis who has an undergraduate degree in forestry in Latvia and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Minnesota, has been a Research Associa te on our staff during the past year, assisting Henry Hansen on his vegetation management research in State parks. We are happy to have these new staff additions and invite all alumni to stop to meet and get acquainted with them. With staff gains normally come staff losses. In the first two weeks of March six School staff members re ceived enticing offers of positions from other forest schools, from FAO, a forest industry, and from a non forestry institution. Four of the six offers have been turned down, one is still very much alive and may result in loss of a most important staff member, and one offer was accepted. Carl Reidel, who will reeeive his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota this sum mer and has been an instructor on our staff for the past four years, accepted an outstanding offer from Williams College in Massachusetts. Carl will head that College's new natural resources program. The School of Forestry Report All of you no doubt have had the kind of year that seemed unusually busy and involved but yielded little on which to report. As this report is begun, that appears to be the kind of year just completed by the School, the kind that has been filled with activity but does not appear on first glance to have had the sig nificant happenings and progress reported to you in recent issues of the Gopher Peavey-Alumni News. Both the quantity and quality of undergraduate students continue to increase. The fall quarter saw 441 students enrolled in the School, the largest num ber in the history of the School. The quality of these students is indicated by the fact that about 85 per cent were in the upper part of their high school gradu ating classes and 97 per cent had completed three or more years of high school mathematics. Also, the trend of our population towards concentration in cities and suburbia is reflected in the source of our students. About 90 per cent of our students have urban back grounds and three-fourths come from the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbia. The fact that close to three fourths of them graduated in high school classes of over ~oo makes their high school performance all the more remarkable. However, there is still room for im provement in quality and we expect the trend toward added quality witnessed in recent years to continue. The enrollment of transfer students continues to increase, and transfer students annually make up a higher per cent of our student body. As our junior and state college systems develop, this trend towards a larger number of transfer students no doubt will con tinue. This could result in doubling the number of jun iors and seniors, as well as graduating classes, with rel atively little total enrollment increase. Since more than 90 per cent of School of Forestry courses are at the junior-senior level, we could in 5-10 years double our teaching load without a major change in total stu dent numbers. This trend towards more transfer stu dents could make a shambles of our long-range en rollment predictions. Forestry students in common with all university students are more critical, more challenging, and more demanding of top quality instruction, advising and counseling. Fortunately the School has the type of advising and counseling system under Ken Winsness that is responsive to students. This plus abundant involvement in Forestry Club, Forest Products Club, Gopher Peavey-Alumni News, Christmas Tree sales project, Foresters' Day, the Special Event preceding 2 'I challcnges and opportunities in this new position are many and Carl is the kind of individual who can fully meet them. We congratulate Carl and wish him well in this most interesting position. We need more foresters in positions of this type. However, his leav ing will seriously interfere with our development of a stronger conservation of natural resources course and of the proposed Master of Forest Resources Adminis tration (MFRA) program in the School. The somewhat abbreviated and later field session at Itasca, during the last week of August and 8 weeks of September before start of the fall quarter, for in coming juniors and transfer students appears to be working out well and is accomplishing the objective of exposing all students to a field forestry experience prior to entering their last two years of professional forestry education. Also, this arrangement permits interested students to obtain an added summer of field experience in forestry, which was not possible under the old arrangement. Last fall we.held our first session for juniors and seniors at Cloquet. It worked out well. We plan to have two Cloquet sessions, fall and spring, in the future, with 50-60 enrolled in each session. Added winterized cabins and improved class room and laboratory facilities at the Cloquet forest are essential to accomplish this two-quarter offering, made necessary by rapidly expanding enrollment in creases. We urgently need the $500,000 classroom laboratory building requested of this Legislature by the University but not included by the Legislative Building Commission in its recommendations. We have proposed phasing this building, constructing first the classroom portion for about one-half the total estimated cost. The University's request of the Legislature for com pletion of Phase III of the Forest Products Building on the St. Paul Campus appears to have little chance of approval during this Legislative session. This will complicate our teaching and research facilities plans because a large addition to Green Hall was scheduled for asking in 1971. Consideration is being given to combining Phase III of Forest Products and the Green Hall addition into a single request in 1971. Alumni will be interested to learn that our three Professors Emeritii-Allison, Schantz-Hansen and R. M. Brown-are well and active. "Pop" Allison was additionally honored by the City of St. Paul and University for his 55 years of contributions towards the establishment and management of the John H. Allison Forest-formerly called the Lake Vadnais Plantations. Schantz continues to serve on the Board of Directors of the Northwest Paper Foundation and continues active in an advisory capacity to the Clo quet School Board. Schantz suffered a broken hip in a fall last winter but is recovering and anxious to start his annual trip to Florida. "Brownie" is busy with local library and community activities and travel to the southwest and other points. Mrs. Louis Rees is a most welcome guest at such Forestry School activities as the annual Staff and Graduate fall picnic, Lumber men's Short Course banquet and Foresters' Day events. Walt Nelson, former superintendent at Itasca and, with Scott Pauley, an addict to Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco, is enjoying good health and re tirement at Alexandria, Minnesota. Walt and alumnus Stan Ringold (Minn. '14) keep us honest with their meaningful but good natured criticism. The Minnesota Forestry Alumni Association Board is an active and productive group. Its activities in connection with the two annual MFAA evening meet ings, School plans and problems, and the recent ques tionnaire sent all alumni are deeply appreciated and are productive. Without the activities of the Asso ciation and Board the School's program would be grcatly weakened. We need the type of guidance, counsel and support the MFAA provides. Foresters' Day this year was featured by an out standing talk by Dr. Norman Borlaug (Minn. '87), now with the Rockefeller Foundation and in charge of its world wheat breeding program, on his work to help solve our food problems in underdeveloped coun tries. Norm credits his undergraduate forestry train ing for the background and incentive that have brought him recognition as a leading contributor to wards the alleviation of hunger throughout the world. We hope that future Foresters' Days will see other School of Forestry alumni return to address and stimulate students, staff and guests with presentations on their work and experiences. The Gopher Peavey-Alumni News is the last stu dent-produced publication in the University outside of the Minnesota Daily. The Gopher Peavey-Alumni News staff needs your support and encouragement in this annual effort. It is far better to have annually interesting and outstanding productions of this type than foment and "sit-ins." All staff members and our Administration join me in these greetings and best wishes. We invite you to visit the School whenever you return to the land of rugged winters. 3 STAFF BIOLOGY ADMINISTRATION Pauley . _L_ _ ............

Every forty lin e is perfectly located so it runs through the wettest, deepest part of a big swamp. This feature didn't prove entirely bad, however, be cause it allowed us to complete an additional one credit course-Swimming l. . the lads were last seen tearing off in a S-SW direction through the swamp and underbrush" GOPHER PEAVEY, 1938 After learning how to type map swamps, we learned how to sample them and compute their merch an ta ble volume to an alpha level of .0,5. Most crews found that their inventory reports used a quantity of pa per greater than the total volume of standing timber on th eir quarter section. What leisure time we could find was more th an filled with varied activities. Gene Brummel meditated his way to the chess championship, and K en Cutler won th e pool tournament. Greg Ryan had no close competition for the sleeping championship. Hard fought "Stratego" games raged into the wee hours of the morning. Ezra is still trying to figure out how the spy always turned up by his field marshal. Tom "The Foot" Watson terrorized the soccer field by dribbling the ball between his toes. lar customer, however, was Al K as tnel'. In fact Al could sometimes be found in the middle of the day cruising timber at Curt's. We learned many unusual facts during the quarter. For example, we learned the maximum capacity of a '63 Ford is l.13 cords of firewood. Our thinning project taught us that trees don't always fall when cut off at the stump. In fact, Gary Heinrich and Jumper will go so far as to say that they usually don't. Cabin 3 also learned that their stove didn't function properly and always filled up with ashes or allowed snow to accumulate in the chimney. Ambitious Foresters-doubtless doing homework for a cor As the quarter progressed, the wakeup bell in the respondence course in furniture arranging-but why at morning seemed to get ea1'lier and earlier.

As usual the fellows learned surprisingly fast to live with both of these "handi caps." In conjunction with the traditional extracurricular activities enjoyed such as Curts', vandalism, and soft ball the group broadened their interests. Cabin 10 started the ball rolling by establishing their cabin as headquarters, a huge sign being erected on the roof. This brought distrust and jealousy from the rest of the camp and soon they began to go to bed at 10PM instead of gPM. "Doc" Johns followed by trying to establish his syndicate in Paul Smith's classroom. Evi dently Paul got his "cut" because soon the sound of pool balls, Captain Kangaroo, and the rattle of empty bottles could be heard frequently being interrupted by Paul's Silviculture lectures. The SwanHelSon Brewery and Company soon got into the act and would like to take this time to thank the station for allowing them to develop their product in the utmost secrecy. Good, wasn't it Paul? The Cloquet quartet felt the brew's first effects at 3am and introduced each cabin to their musical arrangement of Logger Lover. Outside on the athletic field Cabin 10 reigned as soccer champs. This was probably due to the great turnout we exp erienced for each game-Cabin 10 end ing up playing Cabin 10. Those few amateurs who did wander into a game didn't last long . A picture is worth a thousand words-take a close look at Bob Anfang's nose and one of Dr. John's forehead. Even traditional class work was unusual this year. John Hegg and Merrick Reburn explored the possi bilities of using the University wagon in their logging operation. John says it would never double as a skid der however. Other classes, even though not as unique, were equally valuable. The fun times and great educational experiences felt by this group of Foresters at the R esearch Station would cover the entire Peavey.

Cabin 11 Itasca 7968 by Dave Snyder The Itasca session got off to a roarIng start as Rog Pegg and Rog Richards roll ed into the Station on their Scramblers. Before we went home, their hill climbing and "Grand Prix" antics on the trails and roads left a couple Foresters somewhat shaken. It wasn't that they were too loud, but we could hear them from Headwaters Pagea nt Grounds all the way back in the Cabins! For those arriving Monday, th ere was a fast-moving "touch" football game wh ere th e members of cabins 22 and 24 exchanged about four square feet of skin for scabs and bruises. Th ere weren't even any recruit ers around! With stragglers coming in all th e next clay, Dr. Hall gren, the director of the Itasca Forestry Session, got things in gear with an orientation meeting for all thosc present. His introduction includ ed briefing us about our kitchen duties, the pop machin e and coffee pol. the nurse and our instructors for th e session. "Ie then Then there was Botany. There must be many that ha ve atten'aed Itasca that, like myself, discovered they really did have a memory hidden somewhere! Those ISO-some plants in two weeks were really something, to say the least. We did learn a lot on those long, mea ndering walks in spite of ourselves. John Adams, alias "Stump," and Mike Rath learn ed what we all hope was a valuable lesson in taking final tests ; not to get just one wrong! The flash cards and plant samples will be long treasured in our minds. Last, but hardly least, considering time involved, was our three weeks of Ecology. It included a field trip to the Cass Lake District of the Chippewa Na tional Fores t, soil pit after endless soil pit, stand evaluations by crown class and meticulous plant indicator analyses! That's a fair start. All that have been left out nre th e long night sessions spent over tables of data collected, and field notes, writing re ports! Dr. Sucoff led the soil pit caravans out to the Soil pit after en dLess soil pit They'lt Learn . . . signed ourselves into groups A, B , C , and D for sched u I ing in to classes. After a good lunch we went to our respective g\"ou ps for our first classes trying not to bend the scabs from the day before. The first exercise in Fores try 56, Field Forest Measurem ents, was a preview of things, bigger and better, to come. We computed our paces in the woods and field. W e th en learned how to use the various instruments for meas uring tree diameters. These were the calipers, unwi eldy and loose, the cruiser's stick, the eyeball and finally the diameter tape which we lIsed for th e remainder of the seSSIOn. many sites that we visited and dug full of holes. Dr. Paul Rudolf jogged us out to the sample stands we used fo\" stand eva luation. Group B reports the case of what must be th e fastest growth ever recorded for what-ever-it-was that was found numbered 64 in the sample stand across from the Headwaters Mu seum. In fact, this specimen grew so fast that the dbh was only 3% inch es and the diameter at 15 feet was at least 7 to 8 inches! Th e species was unknown as the crown development resembled something out of the Cretaceous era. The fact that no one succumbed to pneumonia from cruising the stands of red pine in a cold, soak . Dr. Hanson toole our section out and introduced us to a portion of the vast forest of hazel bnlsh" GOPHER PEAVEY. 1950 28 ing rain (so we could go home a day early), becom ing drenched, then sitting up so late writing reports still amazes most of us. The compass and pacing survey exercise for mea surements was probably the most memorable for some. The first grou p to do the exercise was to start pacing at the end of a dirt road about % of a mile back in the woods. A couple of men had gotten about ten chains into the woods when they ran into two black bears at not too great a distance. The bears and the students parted company and were last seen go ing in directions 180 degrees opposite at high speed. The hazel brush was so thick that many of us fell down innumerable times and never even hit the ground! As with past groups, the 1968 session wasn't all work. Seaberg's and Ole's saw to that. The traditional iee cream did flow and enhanced the atmosphere and depth of sleep of many of the students. There were . . . to get perj('ct final SCOTes nights when some lucky groups didn't have an ecology report due the next day and found time for volley ball and fishing. AI Burt and Pat McDermott, after one particularly good round with the ice cream, set out to the dump to find a bear to wrestle. Whether they got beat, didn't find any, or chickened out, nobody knows. They were pretty tigh t-lipped about it. Dave Mobraten and Don Hanson managed to create more than their share of ruckus and noise by using sling-shots to shoot cherry bombs out over the lake. Don Fuchs would probably still like to know who tied up the dinner bell. He was undoing . midnight lamps fliclcer ed as reports which had been laid aside for recreational purstlits were feverishly brought up to date" GOPHER PEAVEY. 1949 the bell up on the mess hall roof when some of the winged residents decided they had had enough in trusrons and started after Don, stinging him on his way down. It must have been some sort of phantom and the suspects from cabin 24 were in the habit of barring the door on cabin 22. It seems to have hap pened after a couple small frogs accidentally got loose in cabin 24. The cooks and the kitchen help did very good jobs as indicated by quality of food that we ate. It WCl S so good, in fact, that Sandy Richert and Judy Gray, the nurse, had to go into the dining hall either earl~· or late to avoid being trampled by the stampede CIS the "come-and-get-i t" bell rang. As the Botany final had been taken at the end of the second week, the measurements and ecology finals were the only ones to be taken on the last morning. Shortly after the tests were completed we left the Forestry and Biological Station to return to the cities The other side of ecology or home to prepare for fall quarter. The one thing lacking at Itasca in 1968 was an op portunity for all students to get together at one time to relax and have a good time. This could have bef'l1 accomplished by a conclave of sorts or inter-cab;1l competition in outdoor events. It could have been highly instrumental in providing an opportunity fM all of us to become better acquainted with each other and provide a measure of "esprit de corps." All considered however, the entire 113 students present would agree that the session was enlightening, fun, hardwork, and well worth while. It will long be remembered as the beginning of our over-all training in forestry at the University of Minnesota . Forestry Club by Tom BaJ'Uth It's been another highly successful year for the For estry Club due to the great participation of all the members. The year started off well with a large num ber turning out for the Fall Bonnre. The weather was even accommodating for a change and we were able to hold the bonfire outside for the second straight year! "Beechnut" was so enthralled with the whole situation that he forgot to bring any cups along with the coffee. Maybe he just thought that foresters should learn to rough it. The first meeting was attended by well over 100 students, and this set the trend for continued high attendance at meetings throughout the year. Christ mas Tree Project co-chairman Chris Peterson and Pete Roussopoulos got things rolling for the big proj ect, and Conclave chairman Terry Helbig began sign ing up all available talent for the Conclave. In October, the eleven man conclave team came back from Southern Illinois University with a respect able fourth place. This was achieved even without the assistance of some of the star competitors who were out of action up at Cloquet. Chris and Pete wrapped up a highly successful Christmas tree project in December with a net profit of $fl,OOO. Many thanks to Chris and Pete and all the other Club members who put in long hours of work to make this project such an outstanding success. I would like to thank Vice President Terry Helbig for getting everything going and handling the club so well Fall Quarter when I was at Cloquet. Thanks should also go to AI Burt and Doug Anderson who ably filled in for oUl' missing Sergeants-at-Arms and Dan Seekins who was acting Historian. It was great to come back at the beginning of Winter Quarter and find everything going so smoothly. I may not have been aware of what was going on, but at least it was going smoothly. "[ don't think the nomination of Howard Q. Zeggar cO'Mtit1ltionalJ" 7S Baruth: "Say Terry, are sure this is relevant?" H elbig: "Why, (hic) no doubt about it Rocky!" Forester's Day was the best ever, and chairman Terry Helbig and the dozens of other guys who worked on the countless preparations for this big event deserve a lot of credit. The Banquet was espe cially outstanding, and we were privileged to hear Dr. Norman Borlaug, world famous plant breeder and pathologist. Three $100 scholarships were pre sented to deserving forestry students at this time by the Forestry Club. I hope that the Banquet, which was held last year for the first time, will continue to be a part of Foresters Day in the future. Bull-of-the-Woods editor Rog Richards has done an outstanding job in putting out that fine publica tion informing us of all the local news. In special appreciation for his work, I think that the Club should award Rog a dictionary. I would like to thank Dr. Mace for being an excel lent advisor this year. Don Hanson has done an ex cellent job keeping tabs on all our money. Now all we have to do is to try and get it back at the end of the year! Bruce Rottink's minutes have been so com plete that they even include all of the jokes from the last meeting. Greg Ryan and Jim Russell have been so eager to fulfill their duties that they got traffic tickets rushing around after the coffee and donuts. Corn-y-ae has kept our history up to date and Phil DuFrene has done an excellent job providing inter esting programs . I would especially like to thank all of the Forestry Club members for showing such an interest in the club and making this year so enjoy able and successful. I hope that the club can con tinue to be one of the most active organizations in the University in the future. 30 21 CLUB AT MANNING'S Another Bull-of-the-woods is on the way . .

GOPHER PEA VEY. 1948 The Spring 7968 Forestry Club Canoe Trip by Gene 111iller Under the careful supervision of Canoe Trip Chair man Greg Ryan and his assistant Gene Miller, the Spring 1968 Forestry Club Canoe Trip promised to be one of the finest trips in the history of the club . Th ere were to be twenty-seven rented canoes and nine pri vate canoes on the trip. Unfortunately, May 26 was a cold and rainy day, but fourteen canoes and one houseboat (Jim Bloemendal) braved the elem ents and made the trip. The trip began at Taylor's Falls on the St. Croix River . The bad weather made the trip seem bleak, but the foresters, true to tradition, soon became "accli matized" and no longer minded the weather. Foresters Duane Kick (Kicker) and Gary Heinrich stopped to examine an island, when their canoe mysteriously was set afloat. Gary and Kicker, being resourceful, waded after their wayward canoe. When the water deepened, our boys "deepened" too. Un fortunately, the boys neglected to remove their wal lets, etc., etc. About noon, the troops slogged to a halt for a lunch of soggy sandwiches. Kicker gave a demonstration of how to float a hat off one's head and Jim Bloemendal demonstrated burning charcoal floating in water. Later that day the troops arrived at the Marine Canoe Service at Marine on St. Croix. Everyone was thoroughly "soaked??" and exhausted. In spite of bad weather, the trip was great fun, and we are all look ing forward to the 1969 Canoe Trip. 31 Forest Products Club by Bruce Schmidt Thi s year for Fores t Products Club, really started right after fin a ls in Jun e 1968. It was then that three club members, Steve Weeks, Phil Johnston and Gene lV!ool'e along with club advisor Bob Thompson par ticipated in a club trip to th e west coast. They visited many of the fores t industries' manufacturing facilities and attended the annual Forest Industries Mal'ketin g Conferenc e a t the Univ ersity of Oregon. Theil' trip was partially financed by money earned by the club making and selling FORPRO Wood Identification Kits. We started this year by selling the wood kit bus iness to an alumus of the School of Forestry. Th e money from thi s will be used to finance further trips and oth er worthwhil e activities. Such activities focus on giving club memb ers more contact within industry in which th ey will work . This yea r's club officers include Larry Demaree, secretary-treasurer; Phil John ston, Vice-President and Bruce Schmidt, Pres ident. All club members and Forest Products students suf fered a great loss thi s past yea r when one of our members , Bill Schiltz was killed in a hunting accident. Bill was a se nior in Fores t Products Marketing and an active club member. H e was a close friend to many Bob Thompson-stumped! of us in fores t products and his loss was felt by a ll of us. I'm sure that all of us who knew him will ne ver forge t our close comrade, Bill Schiltz . Xi Sigma Pi by Pete Roussopoulos and Chris Peterson Xi Sigm a Pi, the National Honorary Forestry Fra ternity, was originally founded in 1908 at the Uni versity of Washington. In 1920 at the University of Minn eso ta School of Forestry, the fraternity's fourth chapter was es tablished a nd appropriately giv en th e name D elta , th e fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. R ealizing that s tud ents of forestry, as futur e pro fess ion a l foresters, share part of the responsibility to seek quality in the standards of their profess ion, th e found ers of Xi Sigma Pi adopted objecti ves "to secure and maint a in a high standard of scholarship in for estry ed uca tion , to work for the upbuilding of the pro fession of fores try, a nd to promote fraternal relation s among earn est workers engaged in forestry activities." In ord er to realize th ese objectives, prospective mem bel's are sel ected on the basic of acad emic perform ance, interest, and participation in practical work per tainin g to forestry, qualities of leadership, and prom ise of attaining high professional achiev ement. On M arch 1, the Delta Chapter of Xi Sigma Pi held it s a nnual initiation in the North Star Ba llroom . Thirty-three junior and senior forestry students a nd one graduate student qualifying for admittance were initiat ed into th ~ Fraternity. A banqu et held in th e faculty dining room followed the initi a tion procedures. Our tha nks to Dr. John Tappeiner, silviculturist and member of th e Cloquet Research Staff for sp eakin g to us on Brazilian forestry . Congratulations aga in to tho se newly initiated members on their outstanding work in Fores try, Student. members 32 Freshman Bonfire by Tim Resch On Wednesday, September 25, another great year for the Forestry Club was kick ed off by a record crowd of more than 160 persons attending the fall bonfire. A different site was used to th e approval of some, and disapproval of others. Those that liked th e site liked th e sheltered grassy amphitheater. Those that didn't like the site were those who sat on rotten apples. Acting vice-president-turned-president Terry Helbig welcomed the group to the bonfire as a massive din ner of hot dogs, beans and pop was being enjoyed. The coffee arrived late but no one seemed to mind because cream, sugar and cups never arrived. So th a t the coffee would not be wasted, we saved it to put out the fire. Frank Kaufert, Direc tor of the School of Forestry, introduced th e faculty, gave a short welcoming speech and told an "authentic" Indian story. After the introduction, Conclave team captain Terry Helbig, assisted by several teammates, demon strated some of th e Conclave events. Ron "Bong" Salladay demonstrated speed wood chopping, but due to a pre-bonfire meeting at Manning's was not able to complete a full stroke. The climax of the evening was a series of folk songs led by Joe Merkins and Kathy Josephson. The first song sung was Logger Lover. Nobody knew the music but we sang (?) it anyway. After this bad start the group moved into the standard folk songs until Ken Winsness closed the 1968 Fall Bonfire with a senti mental rendition of "Good Night, Ladies." As the crowd left, some moved to Manning's to have a post-bonfire meeting for the exchanging of summer-job stories. Forest ers-and friends,' "Chief" Kaufert speaks 33 l Midwest Foresters Conclave by Terry Helbig The University of Illinois hosted the conclave this year. Minnesota was again stopped in its quest for its first conclave championship but this was no fault of the men who attended. In spite of our fourth place finish in field events, I firmly believe Minnesota's thirteen men pu t on the best overall show in the con cl ave. Six men hac! previous conclave experience and form ed the nucleus of the team : Chris P eterson, Doug And erson, Al Burt, Rog Richards, Ron Salladay, and T erry Helbig. The remainder of the team made up for what they lacked in experience by their willing ness to compete and win. These members included Brian Marinello, Mark Boche, Ron Welch, Mike Knudson, Gene Determan, Fran Wagner, and Tim R esch. Onl y four members of the team won points, bu t with a few good breaks many other members would have placed in various events. Rog Richards placed second in match splitting. Ron Salladay placed second in chopping and teamed with Chris P eterson for a fourth place in two man bucking. Chris also showed .. . there were only five schools present, but we really fought for fifth place" GOPHER PEAVEY. J939 34 individual effort with his second in tobacco spit to go along with the first gained in that event by "Beech nut" Helbig. Illinois attempted to replace the traditional ice cream social with technical events since the social hour was "against state and university regulations." Minnesota placed second in these events. This high placement was earned with a second in photo inter pretation by Ron Salladay and a second in the college bowl by the team of Chris Peterson, Mike Knudson, Terry Helbig, and Ron Salladay. Minnesota has no reason to be ashamed just be cause they did not win a chain saw. The competition was tough but our team placed fairly well in all the field events. Our second place in technical events is to be envied and our sportsmanship was probably the best of all the teams entered. Next year Minnesota will have another team to be proud of and with a few good breaks it will be coming home with first place and a chain saw to go along with the traditional first place in the ice cream social. 35 /-M Sports by Don Hanson The Forester's I-M sports progral1l was almost a complete success this past year. Once again we fin ished near the top of the total participation poin t list. Participation by club members was down from last yea r, bu t the enthusiasm was up, accounting for our finish in third place. With more participation next year, the club could finish in first place!

Naturally a suc cess means money, and money we made-slightly ov er two grand worth of profits. Our lot, located a t th e corner of LarpenteuJ' and Cle veland, opened on Dec. 1, and although our selec tion was somewhat limited we were sold out in 2 weeks. Four species made up our stock of trees this year and included Scotch pin e, Norway pine, Spruce and Canadian Golden pine. Th e Scotch pine was the biggest seller and of course the most expensive having been imported from Michigan. Both our sheared Spruce and sheared Norway pin e were obtained from Zimm erman, Minn. and look ed real good this year. We a lso had some wild Norway. Oh yes, the fourth species included one Canadian Golden Pine (alias Jack Pine) . It seems that a Freshman Forester mi s took it for a scotch pin e whil e cutting Norway at Cloquet. This year the selection at the Cloquet Forest Re search Center amounted to nil. To substitute we bought Norway stumpage off a private "40" located north of Curt's. By the looks of the trees cut, I go t th e feeling Curt's was hit pretty hard before-hand. Along with the trees we were also very successful in selling wreaths and cones . The biggest sellers were the digger pine cones. We obtained boughs from num erou s sources. In addition to those cut at Cloquet, a truck load was cut at the Hazleton Alcoholic Correction Center near Centerville. Al so, special thanks go to Dr. David French who donated several truck loads from his plantation. Thanks again to all those who participated and good luck on the project in the future. 37 F-DAY-1969 F-Day, 1969, was the product of much hard work on the part of all the committee chairmen. With preparations started early in fall quarter, much of the work was compl eted by the time the closed coffee hour rolled around. The event chairmen met and personally interviewed ov er twenty queen candidates at this time. From this large start, five finalists were chosen and subjected to another coffee hour where MC Ezra T. (Lance Sorenson) Cooter asked them questions ev ery Daughter of Paul should know. On Friday night, January 17, a smorgasbord din ner was held. One of th e highlights of th e evening was a talk on "Fiber and Food for the World's Bil lions" by Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, an alumnus of 1937 who has attained world-wide recognition for his work in feeding starving people. Forestry Club Presi dent Tom Baruth presented Dr. Borlaug with an " Honorary Uncle of Paul" award. He also presented the Field Forester of the Year award to Eldred Johnson and Forestry Club Scholarships to Bob Morrow, Don Hanson. and Rog Richards. Early Saturday morning th e Loggers' Breakfast got under way in the Corpus Christi Church basement. After everyone had eaten their fiU of pancakes and sausage, they adjourned to the North Star Ballroom where skits were presented . The faculty and grad stud ents teamed up to giv e their impression of a " typical Forestry 1 lecture." The student skit was headed up by Tom Watson who staged "Ezra and Jumper's Chuckle In ." The crowd moved to the throne in front of Green Hall where Penny Marcoe was crowned Daughter of Paul. She in turn presented an "Honorary Daugh ter of Paul" to Kathie, K en's secretary, the Uncle of Paul award to Dr. Mace and the Son of Paul award to Terry Helbig. Dr. Mace had collaborated with his fri ends at the Climatology Bureau and arranged for perfect weather during the field events. The wildlifers had troubl e fielding a team for the tug-of-war so Cloquet spring went against Cloquet fall and the Juniors went against the faculty. (The Juniors won their match but there is still controversy as to who won the other one.) The other traditional field events follow ed this exhibition. (Thanks to Dr. Thompson for squaring the chopping and sawing cants.) Ron Salladay won the most events and took hom e the canoe trip prize for being the best competitor. After th e fi eld events were over. th e over 21 crowd headed out to th e Manor for a bite to eat before the dance. Those under 21 tried for reservations at Mac Donald 's but were turned down because they were not dressed in proper attire to dine in a place of that quality . The day concluded with the Stump Jumpers' Ball. Chris Kalogerson provided the mu sic and Chris Peterson provided th e witty sayings. Prizes wpre presented to field event winners during the first in termission while violators of F-Day rules were tried and convicted in K a ngaroo Court during th e second one . All in lill it turned out to be another successful Foresters' Day. Foresters got together, had a good time, and once again showed everyone how proud they are to be in their chosen profession.

SUMMER JOBS tional Forest and visited our cabin many times and accompanied us on several of our excursions. The com?ination of interesting recreational experi ences and v!tluable work experiences made this a sum mer to remember. The only complaint about the sum mer was that it went too fast eve n though it was good to get back to school and renew old friendships, I hated to leave my new friends in Wa shington. A Summer on the Chippewa The Interns by Terry Helbig Last summer Jim Russell, Myron Blank and my self were fortunate enough to be on the Weyerhaeuser Forestry Intern program the first year it was offered at the University of Minnesota. We worked at the Snoqualmie Falls tree farm. This program was design ed to give the aspiring forester a chance to have experi ence in three major fields of forestry. The first of th ese fields was production . Valuable experience was gained in this field through work as a choker-setter. This proved to be both the most educa tion a l and most back-breaking job of the summer. After gaining experience and many new scars setting chokers, we were switched to a different field-manage ment. During our internship in this field we worked on a genetics survey. The purpose of this survey was to choose plus trees for futur e used in a seed orchard. Th e final portion of the summer was spent in the field of engineering. Experience in this field was gained by :vork on surveying crews. Most of this work was lay mg ou t roads, bu t we also did work in laying ou t cut ting lines. Weyerhaeuser also found things for us to do in s?me of ?ur spare tim e. Every second Wedn esday IlIght semlllar was held to acquaint us with company goals and policies. These were all valuable since thev covered topics of current interest in Fores try . Som"e of the seminar topics were Weyerhaeuser timberlands organization, production, planning and con trol, re search, th e high yield fores t, and land use manage men t. Weyerhaeuser also played host several tim es and tr<:a ted us to dinner. The most interesting of these dlllners was one about the middle of the summer when interns from all of Washington and many com pany officials gathered in Tacoma . .Even with all the time spent at Weyerhaeuser, we stIll had plenty of free time to see the country. Some of the places we visited were Seattle and the Science center, Mount R a inier, Leavenworth (a re-created Bavarian tow~), Vancouver and Victoria, Chuck Schroeder's (a rigging slinger, Jim worked with), and th e Olympic Peninsula. Moose ValTo and Steve Nelson were working for the USFS at the Snoqualmie N a by Robert A. 111aki On June 19, 1968 I began work on the Cut Foot Sioux District on what turned out to be th e most en joyable summer job I hav e ever held . My job as a forester's aide dealt with recreation and timber. They did hav e a wildlife program in operation, but I was not involved. Th e only "wildlife" I got was the extra curricular, non forestry type. Recreation was th e larges t area of management concern in the district during the slimmer and th e one I. was invo.lved in most. Selling annual and daily campmg permIts consumed most of my days and weeks. As a bit of variety, I would get put on the camp-ground policing crew (garbage collection), campground construction (cutting brush), or con ducting the Visitor Information Program on Fridays. . many of our jobs were in recreation-hauling garbage, helping tourists, hauling garbage, cut ting firewood and hauling gaTbage" GOPH ER PEAVEY. 1959 1 had many opportunities to meet a lot of interesting people camping in the district. On e in particular tha t . ~J: ? 48 I can remember was th e man from Texas who was con cerned with the littl e critters wand ering around the campground that he called " th e little black and white sportjobs with the fluid drive ." I told him he should worry more about th e mosquitoes because they were bigger and better up here and it only takes three of th em to lift you off the ground. The other area I worked in was timber. The ta sks performed wcre scaling, compartment examination , timber marking, running cutting lin es, and inspecting logg in g operations. The one piece of equipment that I found to be the mos t fasc inating and at times fru s b'at ing was the paint sp ray gu n. With one of th ese weapons when it works, a fo rester can paint, acciden tally or not, himself , hi s par tn er, squirrels, birds, and an occas ional tree or two . In August during the aunu al D eer River Rice F es ti val I had the honor and privilege to represent th e Chippewa National Forest by being that famous fur ry sy mbol agains t forest fires- "Smokey the Bear." Boy, was it hot in th at suit. It was like a portabl e sa una . The only reward I go t out of the whole d eal, besides the honor of being Smokey, was to hav e my picture taken with my a rm (Smokey's) around a cute red-headed majorette from the Grand R apids High School Band. After th a t Smokey was so fired up he put out three fores t fires before they even started. With the approach of th e Itasca Summer Session I was forced to leav e this rewarding job and return to school. working over a month , I calmly a sked my boss, " Wha t are we suppo se to be loo king for?" Occasio nal ly I would rebel against "b ugology's" nomenclature a nd classify a specimen as a "yellow-shaped, crescent thing" or a "two-clawed, six legged, flop-n-dop." Ap palled with my terminology, th e boss assigned me th e task of plan t iden tifica tion and left the bugs to my partner. Another concern of S&PF was cars. S&PF didn't use fores t service vehicles , ra th er, they used cars from t.h e In teragency Motor Poo l. Needless to say, sin ce th e Motor Pool felt th a t its cars should only be driven on paved roads , relati ons were sometime strained be tween the two. Und ersta nding th e importance of ha n dling my new Ford stationwagon with T.L.C .. I remarked to the bo ss one day. "Say, do you know th at the passing gear in thi s car doesn't work wh en you go over 95?" My partner noticed the expression on th e boss's fac e anel quickly added, "But th a t's only on gravel roads." Th e summer was very rewa rdin g both materiall y and aesthetically. I was given a GS-4, paid ex penses. and a new car with a credit carel. Being cool and dry, th e Upper Peninsul a of Michigan is a very pl easant place to work. The north shore of the peninsula has many sandy beaches with multi-hued sandstone bluffs forming the backdrop. Since th ere are many streams in this region, waterfalls are not uncommon. Th e relative lack of brush a nd insec t pests enables one to truly enjoy an outdoor exper ience. And that's how I spent the summer-enjoying an outdoor experience. Grubbing For S&PF by Dave J acobs During the winter quarter of 1968, Mr. Hallgren contacted me about a summer job with the State a nd Private Forestry Division of the Forest Service, usually referred to as S&PF. Aft er being interview ed I wondered about my qualifications for the job as well as my interest in th e job. The interviewer de scribed the work as an in sect survey in North ern Minnesota and Wisconsin . H av ing never had any in struction in " bugology ." I really wasn't too keen on bugs. I could also in vision better places than Wi scon si n in which to work. With this fram e of mind I be gan what proved to be a very enjoyable summer. Th e job was quit e different from its initial d escrip tion. My partner, a graduate student in forest ento mology from MichIgan Sta te, and I spent the entire summer taking white grub counts on red pine planta tion . Most of the censusing was part of a fiv e year evalu a tion of the efl'ectiveness of Aldrin for white grub co ntrol. We worked ma inly on the Hiawatha National Forest in th e Upper Peninsula of Michiga n. Since my boss was basing hi s Ph .D. thesis on this work a nd my partn er hoped to write a paper on it a lso, th ey were very concerned abo ut the precision of my work. Realizing th eir apprehensions, I enjoyed giv ing them minor heart a ttacks. For instance, after Flathead IRFS Crew by Richard W. Trembath During the summ ers of 1967 and 1968 I was em ploy ed by the U.S. Forest Servic e on an Interregion a l Fire Suppression Crew. Based on the Glacier View R anger District of th e Flathead National For es t we were located some 20 mil es from the nearest town of Columbia Falls, Montana, b ut we were only about 100 yards from the w('stcrn bounda ry of Glacier Nation a l Park. An IRFS crew is 11 hi ghly organized group of 2,11 college-agee! men that are physically fit and highly trained in the suppression of forest fires. During th e first two weeks we wcrc su bject ed to films, e!emonstra 49 routine but it pays off when we're on fires. After this training we were put on project work until a fire call. Being on an IR crew we got on fires in many differ ent sections of the western United States. In 1968 we tra veled to Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Idaho and Mon tana. We "had hopes of getting to Alaska, but the "lower 48" always seemed to have enough fires to keep us busy. When the Forest Service spends this much time and money in transporting and training a crew of this size, you know they'll try and get some work out of us. Therefore, we were sent to the biggest fires and then were given the head end on the more cri tical sections of these . It's not uncommon to work a 16-hour shift, but as a rule 12 to 14 hours were standard. Once our crew boss brought our time slips to a fire timekeeper with 25 working hours reported in a 24 hour period! This was explained by crossing a time zone on our fligh t to Arizona. The summer wasn't all work though. For us there were the Glacier Park parties, sights, and even coed softball games on off-duty days. Th e chance to be able to move around the West and get acquainted with many different types of forests in various locations was a wonderful experience. Al Burt, who got stuck on tht> St. Joe IR crew during th e 1968 season, can tes tify to such highlights as th e five -day motel R&R in Prescott, Arizona and the good natured crew compet tition. Few summer jobs offer such scenes as aerial retardant bombing of hot spots on mountain sides at tree-top level, or watching professional sawyers in ac tion against a 6-foot-dbh sitka spruce snag, or watch ing a ca t skinner push a fire lin e through a dense forest. It is for th ese experiences as well as a chance to do physical work for good pay tha t I'll probably be on th e 1969 Flathead IRFS crew. Big smoke tions, lectures and discussions pertaining to the many aspects of fires and their control. Along with this there was a continuous program of conditioning which included many hours of calisthenics, running, obstacle course work, as well as an occasional jaunt up a moun tain. These two weeks are comparable to a boot camp "Th.i' Epic of j\lJillllesola's Forests" 50 ETC =.~____________, Howard Q.

FHK 1945 52 A Report from the President -MINNESOTA FORESTRY A L U M N I ASS O,C I A T ION I Seated ( I . to r.): Bill Hossfield , John Hall, Dick Manly , K en Winsness , Bob Jorg enson, Al Lundgren. S tanding ( I. to r.): Bill Ziemer, Dr . Kau fert, Dean Berg, Earl Adam, Clarence Buck7nan , Al Sehacht. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Alumnus: The organization statement of the Minnesota Forestry Alumni Association recites the purposes of the Association to be, "to promote the best interest of the School of For estry and the University of Minnesota, to coordinate the activities of the alumni of the School of Forestry, and to pro mote a closer relationship between the School, its students, faculty, and the alumni." We hope that your Executive Board or :t9b8-69 has contributed toward fulfillment of these pur poses. Our efforts in that direction included actions and activities as reported in this letter to you. A meeting with Sherwood Berg, Dean of the Inst i tute of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics on March 24, 1969, wa s very informative and enlightening. Progress is being made toward reorganization on the St. Paul campus. Dean Berg looks toward enrollment growth to 10,000 to 12,000 stu dents on this campus within a few years. We hope to see the School of Forestry experience growth which will result in greater status and greater visibility, and ultimately be come the College of Forestry. The second of the above purposes has best been served by the continuing exemplary services of our perennial Sec retary-Treasurer, Ken Winsness. It was indeed a shock to all alumni to learn that his "perennial services" as Secretary of the Executive Board would terminate on June 30, 1969. His resignation was impelled by the magnitude of other duties. Ken 's contribution s to the Alumni Association are legend and need no recounting by me. We hope and antici pate that Ken wi II continue to be the primary lia ison be tween School and alumni . It has [lOt been determined at this time who will be his replacement as Secretary-Treasurer of the Executive Board . The se are big shoes JO fill, as I am sure everyone recognizes the very important role Ken ha s played in making the Minnesota Forestry Alumni Association the successful and active organi zation that it is today. By way of improving communication with all alumni, a questionnaire was mailed in April. Re sults will be tabulated and furnished to all alumni in the address record . It is hoped and expected that a great deal of worthwhile and meaning ful information can be gleaned from this project. The third of the above-stated purposes was well served by Executive Board meetings and the spring and fall alumni banquets. Members of the Executive Board thi s year ex hibited a great deal of interest in school curriculum, change s adopted or proposed, and prospects for the future We had a number of long and interesting discussions with Dr. Kaufert and Ken Winsne ss concerning the preparation of Forestry graduates for career opportunities. The fall banquet was typical of many such previous events, with excellent turn out, good fellowship, and an interesting program consi sting of a report to the alumni by Dr. Kaufert, a movie on snow slides (Avalanche), and a barbershop quartet known as the Mississippi Ramblers. Thanks to our genial host, Ken Wins ness, a good time was had by all . I value my experience as your President during the past year. I feel that I have received more than I have given. I greatly appreciate the contribution s of all Executive Board members and extend a special thank you to outgoing Board members Clarence Buckman, Bill Hosfield , and Bill Aultfather. I turn the gavel over to President-elect John Hall with best wishes for a good year for the Executive Board and the MFAA. Robert S. Jorgenson, President Minnesota Forestry Alumni Association THE ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT "Pop" Allison-'29 "POP" ALLISON - On Sept. 4th, 1968, Prof. Emeritus John H. Alli son had the coniferous forest surrounding Lake Vadnais dedicated in his honor . University President Malcolm Moos and St. Paul Mayor Thomas B},rne were among many city and state oHicials on hand at the ceremonies. " Pop" still takes an active part in the management of the fo.est which is located approx. 7 miles North of Green Hall. E. G. Cheyney then the director of the School of Fores'try, was contacted in 1914 regarding the possibility of estab lishing a forest around Lake Vadnais. Professor Allison was as signed the responsibility of the reforestation pro ject. " Pop" has car ried his trees, both native and exotic through many insect and disease threats with a very low mortality level. "Pop" truly earned the honor to have The John H. Allison Forest dedicated to him. Congratulations "Pop"! Sam Dickenson-'49 SAM DICKENSON received an award from the Minnesota Chapter of the Soil Conservation Society of America . The award was pre sented by the chairman of the Minnesota Chatper for "distinguished service to conservation by advanCing the art and science of good land use." Sam joined the Erie Mining Co. Forestry Dept. in 1952 a : ter working for 2 years with the Iron Range Resources and Re habilitation Commission. He received the award for successfully developing techniques for establishing plant growth on the "tail ings " of the taconite process. There is no natural plant growth due to the highly erodable propert ies of the tailings. By ~reventing this wind and water erosion , Sam has richly deserved this SCSA recognition. Congratulations Sam! Merl e M eyer-'49 MERLE MEYER - Prof. Merle Meyer on May 27th was the recipient of the highly regarded Standard Oil Foundation Award . This award, and the $1,000 which accompanies it , is given to instructors who have "made ' outstanding contributions to undergraduate education ." Merle 's award was one of six presented to instructors at the Uni versity of Minnesota . Another School of Forestry instructor, Ken Winsness, was the recipient of this award in 1966. The students and faculty wish to join the Alumni in congratulating Merle on this long overdue recognition for his many years of dedication. Congratula tions, Merle! ROBERT HERBST has left his post as Deputy Commissioner for the Conservation Department for the State of Minnesota to become Executive Secretary of the Izaak Walton League of America, Glen view, Illinois. Bob was recently named the recipient of the Out standing Conservationist Award by the General Sport Show, Inc. He recieved this award at the Northwest Boat. Sports and Travel Show at Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 3, 1969. He was further recognized this spring by the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics Alumni Association by being awarded the Alumni Service Award for his contributions to the field of Forestry , the University, and the State of Minnesota. Congratulations Bob! 54 AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS To top off an active year the MFAA once again took great pleasure in the presentation of the E. G. Cheyney Memorial Scholarships. The Scholarship Committee, composed of A. R. Hallgren, R. D. Thompson, and K. E. Winsness, selected these students for their achievements in the field of communication . Professor Cheyney believed that a foresters' strongest asset was to acquire a mastery of the communication skills .

ERICKSON sends us word from San Diego, California where he is retired. Thanks so very much for those "very special" contributions, we very much appreciate them and the MFAA and E. G. Cheyney Funds are in real good shapel 1906 SAMUEL B. DETWILER is retired at Arlington, Virginia. He says "During the past six years my hobby has been to walk over all portions of Arlington and observe the character and quality of the autumn leaf colors. When I find suitable leaves, I treat them for preserving their fine hues. A by·product of this hobby has been to learn much about the steady increase in air pollution effects on local vegetation. I am convinced that the science of Ecology is today the most important science for the future welfare of all forms of life in America and throughout the world. It is now 66 years since I enrolled in the Minnesota Forest School. If I were a high schOOl graduate and again choosing a profession, it would be for· estry - but with specialization on ecology and its evolution under the natural conditions normally found in the woods. Foresters were the first to recognize and use the principles of ecological science, and foresters should maintain their priority in further development of it." Keep those very interesting letters coming, Sam - we really enjoy them. 1910 ROBERT L. DEERING is retired from the U.S. Forest Service. CHARLES L. LEWIS, the renowned cranberry grower of Shell Lake, Wisconsin, writes - "Retired from many activities. Have great satis· faction in past promotions of Shell Lake Airport, Shet!

Ringold, Class of 1950, ASSistant Forester Potlatch Forests, Lewiston, Idaho. Married, two sons and one daughter. Myself, I find that I have been spending the last 55 to 60 years, trying to prove that smoking is bound to lead to lung trouble, in my case emphysema. Now the question is how long does this nefarious practice take to kill me??? Also please understand that this project was not entered upon purposely, only in the last 20 years have I been interested in its results. Will try and keep you posted on the outcome, providing there is secretarial service in Hell. Meantime keep up the good work others have done with the Peavey."

He says "I am happy to report that 1968 was a very pleasant year for me. The highlight was a 6 week trip to Scandinavia on a project con· cerned with an exchange of information on the ecology of the moose between North America and Scandinavia. Along with on the ground exchanges of information, I showed colored slides on my research experience in Canada, Alaska, and Isle Royale National Park. About half of my time was spent in Norway, 10 days in Sweden, 4 days in Finland with a 1 day visit to Copenhagen, Denmark. I worked with the top researchers in Scandinavia and had a good look at habitats used by moose, red deer, roe deer, and reindeer. One of the most significant findings was that the change in forest cut ting practices which started about 25 years ago was responsible for the population explosion in the moose herds of Norway, Sweden, and Finland where recent annual kills range from 40-45 thousand. Apparently the change from selective cuttings to shelter WOOd, seed tree, and strip cuttings produces much more food and is still good forestry practice. My son, Wayne, now a CLA student on the main campus served as official photographer colored slides and mOVies. The trip was supported by grants from the American-Scandinavian Foundation of New York and the Kelley Foundation of St. Paul. A highlight of the trip was a visit to the Fredrikstad area of Nor way where my father came from and attended school." T.
