DEDICATION
This year's Forester is dedicated to Andrea Longhini. Chances are if you've had to take a trip
or eaten at a meeting sponsored by the School of Forestry and Wood Products, Andrea was
responsible for making it happen. She also handles many administrative duties for the Dean. An
Ontonagon native, Andrea attended Ferris State, where she obtained her B.S. in Office
Management. In J982 Andrea married Guy Longhini and the two have since raised two children,
Valery and Kenton. A cat named Star and a new dog named Snickers round Off the family. When
Andrea is not here in the office, she enjoys many outdoor activities. Her summers are spent
goifing and water skiing; in the winter she likes to downhill ski and to snowmobile. So, the next
time you see her smiling face, thank Andrea for all the hard work she does for us.

This year a special event is taking place. The forestry
building will be named after our founder, U. J. "Bert"
Noblet. Bert Noblet started the forestry program here
at Tech back in 1936, and was department head until
1965. He retired then, but ca me back in 1967 to help
Gene Hesterberg break ground for the existing forestry
building. And now, in August of 1994, it will be
named after the man who started it all.

Bert/ Bruce
The Forester would like to take a moment to
recognize Bruce Haataja, a man who has over 29
years invested with Michigan Tech. When Bruce
first sta rted worki ng for the IWR (Institute of Wood
Research), the forestry buil ding hadn't even been
built; everything was done in a temporary Quonset
hut behind the chemistry buil ding. Now, Bruce does
research on molded strandboard development,
which ca n be used for molded pallets, stacka ble
containers, and even furniture. Perhaps the most
rewarding experience for Mr. Haataja was when he
was given the opportunity to instruct students in the
Wood Science program. Bruce is retiring this year,
but isn't going to let retirement slow him down.
He's starting up his own company, specializi ng in ..
you guessed it.. molded strand board. The Forester
sal utes you, Bruce, and wishes you well in your new
endeavors.

This year's National SAF Convention was held in
Indianapolis, IN . The students attending Fall
Camp had the opportunity to participate. The trip
required traveling a few miles, and a few ob·

sights such as rhe Stare capital and INDY 500
Speedway helped make the trip an enjoyable one.

THE LAST HURRAH!
It's hard to beli eve the year is over. For some of us, it's the end of an era of college life. No more trips out to
the cabin, no more Conclave, no more late night cram sessions or computer projects to finish. It's time to pack
our bags and say good·bye to Michigan Tech. For the rest of us, it's time to recover from a year of deadlines
and homework by working our rear ends off at a summer job. But wherever you are headed, I hope the
Forester did its job in presenting the 1993· 1994 school year.
The Forester staff was absolutely fantastic this year. For the first time in the four years that I've been on the
staff, we got our deadlines in pretty much on time. I'd like to thank aU the members who gave up thei r
Thursday nights (and some of their $.25 beer ni ghts!) to come in and work on the Forester. Without their
effort and drive, this book would not be in existence. We also had the help of a great woman who always
brought us a snack on those Thursday meetings, and was there to encourage us (or give us a helpful shove);
our advisor, Mary Jurgensen. Mary, we can't thank you enough (and I want the recipe for those fudge
marshmallow thingsl)
And with that, I'll close this up and be on my way. Happy trails to you all, wherever the road my lead you .
