Susan Keller is ready to spend more time with her family, cows and horses.
The long-time North Dakota state veterinarian will retire from the position the end of June.
As the state veterinarian for the N.D. State Agriculture Department and Board of Animal Health, she has served the state for nearly a quarter century, for two agriculture commissioners and many State Board of Animal Health members.
When her veterinary career started, she never thought she’d serve in a governmental capacity.
Growing up on the family dairy and beef farm near Kelly, Kansas, in the northeast corner of the state, she came to North Dakota after her junior year of college at Kansas State University for an externship at the Midway Veterinary Clinic in Bismarck.
WORCESTER Following a year that put renewed focus on the continued struggle for racial equality, the Rev. John Vaughn advised viewers to take a moment for rest and reflection during his keynote address to the 36th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Breakfast.
This year s breakfast was held virtually on Monday and hosted on Quinsigamond Community College s website. The event is usually held at Quinsigamond Community College s campus.
The abbreviated breakfast included a video introduction from master of ceremonies Larry Schuyler, a video address from Mayor Joseph Petty and musical performances taken from a recording of the 2017 MLK Day Breakfast.
