Read More	Yale August Meyer, the son of Werner August and Frieda (Heumann) Meyer, was born on February 5, 1921 on a farm in Seward County near Goehner, Nebraska. He passed away on February 19, 2010 at Brodstone Memorial Hospital in Superior, Nebraska at the age of 89 years, and 14 days. Yale attended rural schools and graduated from Beaver Crossing High School in1938. During these years Yale assisted his parents with the family farm and even left school for a time in his 6th grade year to help out when the depression hit. These experiences made getting an education very important to him. During World War II, Yale was drafted into the army and served in the hospital on the Island of Tinian in the Pacific Ocean. He was discharged from the service in 1946. Always good at planning ahead, Yale used the GI Bill to further his education by enrolling in electrical engineering at the University of Nebraska. Yale graduated in 1950 with his Bachelor of Science Degree and then started his career as a Professional Electrical Engineer with South Central Public Power District in Nelson. Another brilliant planning decision followed as he wooed the much younger LaVera Schmidt who was also in the South Central work force. Their wedding on June 28, 1953 lead to a lifelong partnership of 56 years. As the manager of South Central, Yale was a pioneer in irrigation load management. This problem solving talent was always in use as he enjoyed having issues bounced off him from his family, friends, and co workers. The learning did not stop with retirement as he and LaVera enjoyed many trips to locations such as Russia, Germany, Alaska, Hawaii, and even the Panama Canal. The urge to farm also was satisfied with use of the "North 40" ground near their home in Nelson. He also loved to tinker and fix things at his own patient pace. In the end, it always comes down to family. Yale and LaVera were most proud of their family. They were raised in a loving, respectful, joke loving, patience learning and pinochle playing environment. His grandchildren always brought a sparkle to grandpa's eyes. We have all benefitted from grandpa's planning, caring, and ability to always do the right thing, while not being tempted by the easiest or fastest path. He was a member of the Nelson Community United Church of Christ, American Legion Post #187, VFW Post #7197, the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers, Inc., University of Nebraska Alumni Association and Nebraska Society of Professional Engineers.
