Past President Memories

Chet Sommers (1976-1979)

I particularly remember presenting the F. Melius Christiansen Lifetime Achievement Award to both of his sons…Olaf Christiansen in 1976 and Paul J. Christiansen in 1979. That was very meaningful!

Since we only had about sixty members at the time, all of us had to be salespeople for ACDA-MN in those early years. It was truly a great honor to serve as president.
