University of Wisconsin - River Falls |
APRIL 14, 2006--River Falls historian Ursula Peterson spoke at a reception
and classroom dedication April 7 in South Hall at the University of Wisconsin-River
Falls to honor the memory of her late husband, history Professor Ed Peterson.
Peterson had not missed a day of teaching during his UW-RF teaching career,
which began in 1954 and ended when he died during spring break in March
of 2005. He was an author of several books and the recipient of numerous
honors, including the 2004 Distinguished Professor Award. A bronze plaque
in his memory was installed outside of room 224, his favorite classroom.
