Our program was the classification speech of Emily Nesvold. Emily is honored to be a Rotarian; the four-way test is important to her and is something about joining the important club. Emily was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1943. Her father, a microbiologist working on antibiotics, their family moved quickly as her father went into teaching microbiology, and Emily grew up in Athens, Georgia. Emily and her family moved to Brookings, South Dakota, in seventh grade. Worried about a southern speech, Emily taught herself out of her southern accent.
Emily was kind of a rebel during to her school years, as she was sent to the office enough to be regular with the principal. She married her husband Bob Nesvold old in 1963 and is coming up on their 60th anniversary. Emily and Bob finished school at the U of M with no debt due to proper government funding. Bob is a veterinarian, and Emily with a degree in biology. After graduation, they moved to Faribault. Bob started to work with Dick Huston, Emily taught biology, and they lived with their two children on the outskirts of Faribault. They enjoy nature, horses, and engaging in their community.
