It was with regret that the Browerville School Board accepted the resignation/retirement of Harry Christensen at the May 12 regular school board meeting. Christensen has been with the school since September 1, 1961. He currently teaches biology and in the summer serves as recreation director, athletic director, and community education director. The board reminisced for a few minutes before accepting his resignation which is effective May 30.

Jeff VanVoorhis marked a memorable occasion this spring when he planted his two and one half millionth tree. Jeff is a professional tree planter who started his career in 1980 when Greg Noland and Marsha Rapatz recruited him and his wife, Pam Ruehle, to travel to Oregon to help them plant trees. Jeff fell in love with the work and has been planting trees ever since.
