New Mower Presented to School
A
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 many
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.
