Our Sincere Dedication Dr. Dan Block is retiring this year. Dr. Block has taught biological science at Western since 1961. He has trained many biology teachers in his 24-year career at WMC. During his early years at Western he started the biology field trips, taking students to many areas in the U.S. and to Mexico. These trips have become a regular part of the Natural Heritage Program which Dr. Block initiated and directed for several years. Dr. Block received his B.S. at Milwaukee State Teachers College. After serving in the armed forces, he entered the University of Montana from which he received his M.S. and a Ph.D. in Wildlife Technology. Dr. Block and his wife have two grown sons. Their immediate plans are to travel in the U.S., particularly Alaska, and in Canada. Professor Dan Scott is also retiring this year. He has taught Industrial Arts at Western since 1967 and is proud of the many fine teachers he has helped to train in that field. Mr. Scott graduated from Western in 1961. He received his Master's degree at Indiana University in 1965. His major areas of interest are metals and crafts, which he will continue to teach on a part-time basis. The Scotts have three grown children. They plan to finish and enjoy their new earth-covered home in the Elkhorn area. Both Dans will be much missed at Western. Their combined teaching time of 54 years represents dedicated service to their professions and to Western Montana College. We wish them many happy years of retirement. 8
