Seeds are small things. They are
potential for change; their truest function is to adapt and
grow, becoming something else, taking on different shapes and
sizes, bringing color and nourishment into our lives, and
ultimately, giving themselves up so we can use their goodness
and potential to help us thrive.
Dr. Roger Krueger, from Monsanto Company, was just such a seed.
His professional career was devoted to seeds, and he
passionately advocated the role of science in feeding the world.
He lived to make the world a better place and to make
agriculture more able to feed the world.
Seeds are small things, but as Roger's colleagues, friends and
family all testify, this seed we knew as Roger Krueger was a
small thing done with great love.
The Roger Krueger Scholarship Endowment has been
established by the
American Seed Research Foundation (ASRF) to honor and
remember Roger.
The interest from the permanent endowment will be used as
scholarships for students in agriculture - the future of the
seed industry. What better way to recognize Roger's life, his
work and his willingness to teach and mentor than by supporting
the future of seeds?
To help us honor Roger Krueger, please consider a gift to this
endowment fund which will assist generations of students engaged
in seed research.
The first scholarship will be awarded at the American Seed Trade
Association's 125th Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida, this
June.
Your donation is tax deductible, and the entire contribution to
the Roger Krueger Scholarship Endowment will be used for
scholarships.
Please make checks payable to the American Seed Research
Foundation and mail to 225 Reinekers Lane, Suite 650,
Alexandria, VA 22306.
For more information, please contact ASRF Secretary/Treasurer
Ann Jorss through email
or by phone at (888) 890-7333. |
