“Forestry friends and colleagues of the late, great forester Art Widerstrom will be getting together this evening for a golf scramble in his memory. Art loved serving the people of Minnesota and providing his forestry knowledge and skills to landowners across the metro area. He also loved to socialize. We’ll remember Art tonight and have some fun!”
~ Mike Reinikainen, St. Paul
