GREETINGS FROM ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

DAVID KILL ’60

I am writing this message on the day of our “epic” snowstorm in February so it is very hard to think about hot weather in July for our annual Reunion. But it is only a few months away on July 14, 2023.

Details and registration information are in this newsletter. After last year’s very successful Reunion, it may be hard to have a repeat turn-out; however, we have found that visiting with fellow classmates seems to be a very high priority with all of us. Therefore, the entire afternoon will be set aside for visiting and sharing all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren stories as well as the memories from our days on campus.

Another topic of discussion during the reunion will be the WCSA Legacy Memorial at the WCROC Horticulture Garden. We are in the fundraising stage, so every dollar that comes in for this project will make the groundbreaking date that much sooner. Please consider sending in a check for this fund. Board members will be most appreciative to receive your contribution toward this WCSA Legacy Memorial. You can contact me with any questions.

Also, we intend to recognize our UMM scholarship recipients. Having them present will be our goal this summer.

As always, the WCSA Board is always looking for new members to be part of the planning and decision making efforts of the board. If you have questions or are interested in being a board member, please give me a call.

I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the WCSA All-School Reunion on Friday, July 14. Be sure to send in your registration early to get the “early-bird” price on the wonderful event we are planning for you.

Thanks,

David Kill ’60, president

Class Notes…

To my fellow classmates:

I display an aerial photo of my father’s farm near Fergus Falls,(circa 1950) here in my assisted living apartment in Washington state. Those farm years were the best!

My brother, Dwight Marshall was a 1946 graduate of WCSA. He married Phyllis Andrews, a 1947 grad. They took over the farm so my parents could retire to Oregon. All are now deceased.

I was the WCSA school nurse from 1950-1952. I married Lowell Eschbach in 1951. He passed in 2019. We have five children, 13 grands, and 13 greatgrands. I retired from nursing in 1992, working at the local hospital for 33 years!

Our lives were blessed with faith and love.

One of his pastimes was raising Chesapeake Bay Retrievers in which he took pride in sending them all over the United States. Another pastime was coon hunting with his sons and grandsons. Doug’s real passion was working with cattle. The spring and fall cattle drives were his favorite times, being in the lead as they moved the cattle from home to pastures and then pastures to home with the horses. He was an avid fur trapper, duck hunter, deer hunter, and fisherman. His annual vacation was spent at deer camp at Comstock Lake and Spider Lake in northern Minnesota with family and close friends. While he always had a passion for country music and dancing, he found his love for singing while he and Ardy wintered in South Texas. He participated in karaoke any chance he

could and started singing in church. A proud moment for him was being asked to sing at his granddaughter’s wedding. Doug’s Norwegian heritage was very important to him and was evident in his noticeable accent and fluent ability to speak Norwegian. The University of Oslo made a video of him and several others in the Sunburg area while they were here studying the Norwegian language spoken by the local residents. Doug is survived by his loving companion, Ardis, two daughters, two sons, 11 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, one sister, one nephew, four nieces, several great nephews, great nieces and cousins.
