Long time member of the SSCA, Glennis Carlson of the Stenen area, passed away, June 5.
Glennis and her husband, Gerald, began farming in 1975. When the Crystal lake Soil Conservation Cooperative formed in 1985, Glennis and Gerald became members. Glennis was then elected the co-op's secretary. The co-op was very active and by 1989, it had planted over 80 miles of trees including the 15 miles planted by the Carlsons.
When the Save Our Soils program came into effect in 1990, Glennis became the chair of the District 18 ADD Board's SOS Committee.
In 1987, Glennis attended the first meeting of the SSCA. She joined the Association at that time, maintaining a continuous membership. In recognition of the Carlsons outstanding commitment to the soil conservation effort, a plaque was presented to them by the SSCA in May.
Glennis is survived by her husband, Gerald, two daughters and their husbands, a son and three grandchildren.
