Yeah, sounds like a number of people who didn’t take it the last few years have applied this year. I’m afraid you’re right, and we’re going to lose a lot of talented folks...

Dr Gudmestad has wanted to retire for years. He continued to work at NDSU until they were able to find a qualified replacement.

Exactly. It wasn’t early retirement. He will be very difficult to replace. Basically world-renowned for his expertize of potatoes and an otherwise outstanding agricultural ambassador for NDSU. He and I have crossed paths in litigation ( that’s all is say on that) and he was nothing other than professional and legit. I’m guessing he’ll be around for consultation in both private and public sector if requested. Incredibly decent and solid man.

Hopefully some of them will be from the Comp Sci dept as NDSU hasn't been able to turn out quality grads in that area for YEARS. Absolutely need some fresh blood in there that understands how to set students up for success in today's market not 1990's.

Merkel, he was my uncle. Lost him a few years ago to cancer.
My dad always said Clark was a favorite among his students (during the 80's sometime IIRC). But since he went to school at NDSU, they wouldn't hire him on after grad school as a full professor.
Had to bring in "fresh blood" for "research". :sigpalm:
