LIA
is all about connections and networking as was recently displayed when

Lindquist, Class 31, to make a presentation on the subject,
“Farm Land Values, Reality vs.
Myth”. Dustin and
Craig were classmates and now you know the rest of the story.
Bob

Lifetime Achievement Award from the Environmental Care Association in
late December. Congratulations
to Bob on this honor. Bob
was also recently elected as chairman of the board of directors for

is a good thing that Bob retired from ISDA so he has time for all of
these “extra-curricular activities” in life.
