A graveside service will be held Saturday, November 20, 1:00, at Garretson Cemetery, Garretson, South Dakota. Ole was raised a farm-boy, graduating from Garretson High School during the Depression in 1936. He worked in the Black Hills with the CCC and then started college at South Dakota State. Ole finished his veterinary studies at Texas A&M University with a DVM degree in 1940. Following graduation, Ole returned to South Dakota to marry Vivian E. Elverson and start a family of four children. He established a large-animal veterinary practice and began farming in Vermillion. After 17 years of practice, he returned to college, earning first a Master degree at the University of South Dakota and then a PhD in bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin in 1963. He accepted a research position at the National Animal Disease Laboratory in Ames in 1964. He was very active in his federal career, publishing more than 140 research papers, traveling to Africa, Asia and Europe for the agriculture department. In 1970, wanting to shared his expertise where it was needed, he took a sabbatical to work as a veterinary missionary in the Sudan. This was followed by two decades of teaching and research assignments in Ethiopia, the Sudan, Estonia, China, and Turkey He received three Fulbright scholarships to teach overseas, numerous awards from the AVMA and was recognized as a Lifetime Scholar by the University of South Dakota Alumni Association. An outspoken opponent to nuclear war, he was a co-founding member of the Veterinary Academy on Disaster Medicine. Following his retirement from NADL in 1986, he returned to playing saxophone with church bands at Bethesda Lutheran and joined the local coffee clutch, renewing old friendships and gaining new friends. He had a passion for conservation, planting many black walnut plantations in Iowa and South Dakota, while still continuing his farm operations in South Dakota. He was fortunate to have a yet another career teaching veterinary history for many years at Iowa State University. The ISU Press published his textbook, still in use, entitled "The Winning of Animal Health". This was followed by three other published books. He wrote and self-published "The History of NADL" when he was 88. It sold-out in a matter of days and garnered a front-page story with his picture in the Ames Tribune. He is survived by his daughter, Julie Ann; three sons, Alan, David and Jon; seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Arrangements under the direction of Stevens Memorial Chapel, Ames, IA.
