A
Word
From

D
E
A
N
Greetings from all of us here at Tech. At the time of this writing Uan. 20), we've received our first 100" of
snow. Our students are working on their Winter Carnival statue in front of the Forestry Building.
We were glad to see several alumni at the Alumni Reunion here last summer and also at the SAl
Convention in Richmond. We hope to see many of you at these functions in the coming year. We hope tc
have a large contingent of students at the Indianapolis SAF Convention.
We'll be going through a review of our programs by a team of external experts next month. This i~
organized by USDA's Cooperative State Research Service. These reviews are held approximately every fiVE
years. We'll also be having an Accreditation review by an SAF team, but that's a couple of years in thE
future.
We've lost some faculty members to other schools and agencies recently: Steve Shaler, Al Solomon, anc
Johann Bruhn. We're recruiting for replacements for some of the positions. Also, we recently hired Pau
Desanker (PhD, MTU, 1992) as an Assistant Professor.
Support is being garnered for an Environmental Sciences and Engineering Building. There should be mOrE
to tell you on this subject next year.
Send us your news for our newsletter. Visit when you can. Thanks to all of you who continue to take ar
interest in Tech Forestry, especially those whose contributions make this yearbook, scholarships, and othe:
student benefits possible.
Sincerely,
W.E. Frayer, Dean

Thls year's edition of the MTU Forester is dedicated to
the man behind our clean floors, bathrooms, and all that
needs fixing. Terry is more than just a custodian to our
School, he is always the friendly face that greets you for
those wonderful 8 o'clock classes, he salts Our slippery
sidewalks to keep our feet on the ground, and if you
haven't noticed, tasty odors emanate from his office at
noontime. Terry has provided the School of Forestry and
Wood Products with exceptional service and very clean
rooms. I'm sure a big thanks from all of the people here in
the School is past due, but in honor of such a great job we
dedicated our book to you because, Terry, you do make a
world of difference to everyone and everything.

Well, here it is, another book finally finished. In case you hadn't noticed, we reduced our
book size and the content which it holds. We on the Forester staff hope that you enjoyed
this year's edition. A big thank you to all the staff members on a very good year. I
personally would like to thank Kris DaPra and Mary Jurgensen for tons of last minute help.
We responded to some of your desires by cutting back on the amount of written text and
including more pictures so hopefully it pleases the majority. This is it for me; I now enter
the big bad working world of the Forest Industry. I take with me some very valuable
experience, most of which is how to deal with people when you are holding a camera.
Seriously though, MTU has given me the most I could ask for, along with more - like a
tuition increase every year that I enrolled, not to mention those wonderful lab fees. Was it
all worth it? Ask me in 5 years when I have a "real" job and am really in debt. I would like
to commend everyone here in the School of Forestry and Wood Products for making it
seem like a second home. The contribution of every individual in this School is what
makes it an exceptional place to attend college. The one we tend to forget to thank is Prof.
Ros Miller. Without him most of us would not have our summer jobs or permanent jobs.
He does an excellent job at keeping the job boards up to date and the students informed
with what is happening in the job market. Thanks Ros!!!! I hope every one enjoyed this
year's edition and if you ever need help with an alumni copy, don't call me - I'll call you.
