New Mower Presented to School

Walker MowerA trust established by the family of Magdalena Salzwedel has presented a new riding lawn mower to Forest Hills in her memory.  Mrs. Salzwedel was the mother of Joyce Schultz and Phyllis Bockelmann, both of whom served at Forest Hills as teacher aide and teacher, respectively.  Dave Bockelmann is the former facilities manager for the school.  They wanted the school to have a reliable mower which would help keep the school's campus beautiful in the years to come. 

Dan Seim, current facilities manager and former principal researched manyWalker at FH different brands and models and recommended the Walker mower, manufactured in Ft. Collins, Colorado.  The order was placed with a local dealer and Dan was able to visit the factory on a recent trip to the Midwest.  The trip also included participation in the 6th Annual Walker Hymn Sing, held on the company's grounds near Ft. Collins.  He was able to meet members of the Walker family.  The Walker mowers are unique in the industry and have several distinctive features not available on other mowers.  Several generations of family members are active in the business.
