Don L. Good was born October 8, 1921 and died at home on February 14, 2012. He was raised on an 80-acre livestock and crop farm in Van Wert county Ohio with 3 brothers and one sister. He was the son of George Lewis and Dora Haines Good.
Don's livestock interests manifested early, through 4-H and FFA projects with Oxford sheep and swine. In 1939, Don entered The Ohio State University, working in the beef and horse barns and the meats laboratory to work his way through school. During his senior year, Don was called to active duty in World War II and he served in Europe and the Pacific, earning the Combat Infantry Badge and two battle stars. After returning to Ohio State, he was on the 1946 Ohio State livestock judging team and was high man in judging at the Kansas City Royal Livestock Show and was second high man at the Chicago International Livestock Exposition, where the team won.
Don received his bachelor's degree in 1947 from The Ohio State University and was named to the Animal Science Hall of Fame at Ohio State in 1950 and in 1970 he received the OSU College of Agriculture Centennial Award. In 1947 Don started his 40-year career at Kansas State University. His first position was to coach the livestock judging team, manage the purebred beef herds, and teach/advise students. As judging team coach, he won 14 major contests in 18 years. At the end of his first semester at KSU, he returned to Ohio to marry Jane Swick and bring her back to live in Manhattan.
In 1950, Don received his master's degree from KSU and his doctorate from the University of Minnesota in 1957. He was named department head of Animal Husbandry at KSU in 1966 and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1987. Following a devastating tornado in 1966, he and colleagues worked to form the Livestock and Meat Industry Council. This is a group of industry leaders that would aid in seeking private and corporate funding for use in improving or rebuilding facilities used to teach students and perform research.
Good’s influence, however, reached far beyond Kansas. His leadership and commitment to agriculture was instrumental in helping move livestock and meat production into the modern era. He was also credited with pioneering the concept of correlating carcass characteristics to live animal evaluation at livestock shows.
During his tenure at K-State, Good won three major awards from the American society of Animal Science: Distinguished Teacher in 1973, Honorary Fellow in 1978, and Industry Service in 1982. His portrait was hung in the Saddle and Sirloin Gallery in Louisville, Ky., in 1987. In 1997, Good received the Livestock Publications Council Headliner Award.

K-State alumnus Franklin A. Coffman was a noted agronomist who specialized in oat experimentation and research.  He was born in Jewell, Kansas in 1892 to Rachel and Ernest Coffman.  Both parents attended Kansas State Agricultural College.  Coffman entered the sub-freshman class at Kansas State Agricultural College in 1908.  In 1911, he entered the freshman class.  He majored in Agronomy and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree in 1914.  Six of Coffman's siblings graduated from Kansas State Agricultural College.
From 1914-1916, Coffman worked for the Philippine Bureau of Agriculture as the station superintendent in charge of corn.  He returned to Kansas and began studies for a master's degree, but did not complete the program at that time.  He moved to Akron, Colorado to work for the United States Department of Agriculture.  In 1922, Coffman completed his Master of Science in Agriculture at Kansas State Agricultural College, as a plant breeding major, plant physiology minor.
Upon graduation, Coffman continued to work for the United States Department of Agriculture where he remained employed until his retirement in 1962.  The positions he held at the United States Department of Agriculture increased in importance and responsibility as Coffman built a reputation for his work in oat experimentation and research.  In 1957, he became the principal agronomist in charge of winter oats and was responsible for 120 experiment stations in 44 states.
Throughout his career, Coffman published approximately 200 articles and several books.  He edited the book <emph render='italic'>Oats and Oat Improvement </emph>and wrote five of the book's 15 chapters.  Upon his retirement in 1962, Coffman received the Superior Service Award from the United States Department of Agriculture.  In 1966, he received the Distinguished Service in Agriculture Award from Kansas State University.  After retirement, Coffman continued his involvement in oat research.  The book<emph render='italic'> Oat History, Identification and Classification</emph>, was published in 1977, a year after he died.
Coffman married Alta Johnson in 1919 and had a daughter, Alice Winifred, in 1923.  He had two grandsons.  Coffman was an accomplished photographer and poet.  Many of his poems were published in the Washington Post.  Coffman was an avid sportsman and made many trips to western states and national parks.  He was also a genealogist and did extensive research on both sides of his family.

Ada Rice was born in Breckenridge, Missouri, on 21 December 1869.  Her family moved to Clifton, Kansas, in 1878.  She attended Baker University for one year and taught school near Washington, Kansas, for two years. She entered Kansas State Agricultural College (KSAC) in 1889, then left in 1890 to teach high school in her father's place at Clifton.  She then was the assistant principal there in 1891.  Rice returned to KSAC in 1893 and graduated in 1895.  She taught in the grade school at Randolph, Kansas, from 1896 to 1899, and then was an assistant in the Preparatory Department of KSAC from 1899 to 1903.  She received her Life Teacher's Certificate from Kansas in 1900, and became a founding member of the local chapter of the American College Quill Club that same year.  Rice became an assistant in English at KSAC in 1902, earning the title of instructor in English the following year.  She attended the University of Chicago during the summer of 1902 and Harvard University during the summer of 1905.  She spent the summer of 1909 touring Europe.  Rice received her Master's degree from KSAC in 1912.  She was Assistant Principal of the School of Agriculture from 1913 to 1918, and alumni editor of the Industrialist from 1918 to 1920. She spent a sabbatical at Kings College of London University in 1926-1927, and was granted professorship at KSAC in 1927.  Rice was elected president of the KSAC chapter of Phi Kappa Phi in 1932, toured Asia during the summer of 1937, and retired in 1946.  She died on 9 March 1953.

Dan D. Casement was an involved man, he spent time as student at the Western Reserve Academy from 1884-1886 and owned and operated his father's ranch (Juniata Ranch) from 1889-1953, during which time he graduated from Princeton University in civil engineering, obtained a Master's degree from Columbia University, married his late wife Mary Olivia Thorburgh, spent 6 years in Costa Rica, and was the correspondence editor for Breeder's Gazette for 6 years.
Casement and his family spent six years in Costa Rica after Dan was given the task of overseeing the construction of a railway in the country by Gen Jack, Casement’s father in 1887. Jack accepted a contract to build 55 miles of track from San Jose to the coast and spent much of his time in New York trying to raise funds. During this time, Costa Rica tottered as a result of revolution and bankruptcy and therefore what was thought of being a sporting adventure turned into the extremely difficult task of laying track in a mountainous, tropical country. Yellow fever and insurrection did not help matters. The circumstances made the construction of the trans-continental railroad across in the American prairie seem like a Lionel train on Christmas morning. For example, on chasm to be bridged was 652 wide and 310 feet deep which, at the time, had only one counterpart in the world, that in Africa. Although the project was deemed profitable for the Casements, they could only complete 30 of the 55 mile line before the Costa Rican government suspended funds after six years. By contrast, it took less time for General Jack to build the eastern leg of the transcontinental railroad than it took to construct 30 miles of track in Costa Rica. Only once during the six year span (1887-1903) did the Casements visit the United States. Dan and Olivia’s daughter, Mary, was born in Costa Rica and though their task was difficult and frustrating, they developed lasting friendships during their time there.
During his ownership of Juniata Ranch, it was the location of Kansas State University’s original grass utilization research that was conducted by the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1915. Casement also was appointed to review an appraisal of the grazing value of the national forests, and his report recommended a fee related to the price of livestock, which was in force when he died. He was also involved in politics and attended several National Republican Conventions, including the one in 1952 in where he was an avid supporter of General Douglas MacArthur for the nomination. For his contribution to the cattle industry, The Saddle and Sirloin club in Chicago had his portrait hung in its gallery of leaders of the U.S. livestock industry. Additionally, he contributed immeasurably to the betterment of American agriculture by his leadership in animal breeding and feeding, with cattle, sheep, horses, and hogs.
Upon Casement’s death in 1953, tributes were given in his honor. Tributes include those from Governor Edward F. Arn, Senator Harry Darby, and Frances D. Farrell. Representative Howard S. Miller read a tribute to Casement on the floor of the House of Representatives, and in an editorial in the Manhattan, Bill Colvin shared his memory of Dan. At the Cowboy Hall of Fame 1958 annual meeting in Oklahoma City, Casement was one of 11 elected at large from across the U.S to be inducted, just five years after his death.

Stuart McGregor Pady was born in Arnprior, Ontario, Canada, on November 15, 1905.  Educated in Ontario, he graduated from McMaster University in Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928 and a Master of Arts degree in 1929.  As a doctoral student at the University of Toronto, he married Rose Annie Maw in 1931.  Two years later, Stuart received his Ph.D. in Mycology, Plant Pathology.
Pady received a Fellowship in Botany from the National Research Council and did his work at the New York Botanical Gardens between 1933 and 1935.  He then joined the faculty at McMaster University for one year, and then became Head of the Biology Department at Ottawa University, in Ottawa, Kansas, from 1936 to 1945.  During this time, Pady and his wife adopted two children: Donald in 1937 and Helen in 1942.
In 1945, Stuart taught botany at Kansas State College in Manhattan, Kansas, for one year.  Then, the Padys moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where Stuart joined the McGill University faculty and taught botany.  During this time, he received research grants from the Defence Research Board, Ottawa, Canada, on Arctic Aerobiology.
In 1952, the Padys returned to Manhattan, Kansas, as Stuart became Head of the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology at Kansas State College, now Kansas State University.  He served in this capacity until 1967, when he returned to the classroom.  During his tenure he recevied several research grants from the United States Department of Health Education and Welfare, National Center for Air Pollution Control, to study airborne fungi.
Pady enjoyed a sabbatical from July 1969 to March 1970 at Waite Agricultural Institute, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia.  During this time he also was a consultant for the USAID program at Andhra Pradesh University, Hyderabad, India.
Rose Annie Maw was born in Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, on January 28, 1900.  While not a college graduate, she was important to Stuart's academic life by often typing his research papers and attending academic functions with him.
Stuart retired from Kansas State University in 1973 and they moved to Ottawa, Kansas, the following year.  After living in Ottawa for twenty years, they returned to Manhattan in 1994.  Rose died there in June 1997, followed by Stuart's death in January 2004.

Born on September 27, 1898, at Stockdale, Kansas, to Solon and Jennie (Romick) Paddleford, Clementine Paddleford became one of the most widely ready and best-known food editors in the world, charming her readers with her fanciful prose.  By the age of 12, Paddleford had developed a curiosity of food.  At the age of 15, she began her writing career, writing personals for the <emph render='italic'>Daily Chronicle</emph> in Manhattan, Kansas.  She graduated from Manhattan High School in 1916, and from Kansas State Agriculture College in 1921, with a degree in Industrial Journalism.
After graduation, Paddleford enrolled at the Columbia School of Journalism and attended night classes at New York University.  In order to pay for her own expenses in New York, she did some special reviewing of business books for <emph render='italic'>Administration</emph>, a magazine of business, and for the <emph render='italic'>New York Sun</emph>.  She also wrote special short women’s features for the <emph render='italic'>New York Sun</emph> and the <emph render='italic'>New York Telegram</emph>.
In 1923, Paddleford accepted an invitation from a friend to summer in Chicago.  She stayed on in the fall, when she found employment writing advertising copy for Montgomery Ward and an agricultural fair on the banks of the Des Plaines River.  During this time, Paddleford married Lloyd Zimmerman, though they separated within a year and were divorced in 1932.
Paddleford worked as women’s editor of <emph render='italic'>Farm and Fireside</emph> in New York from 1924 to 1929.  In the 1930s, Paddleford wrote articles for <emph render='italic'>Christian Herald</emph> using the name Clementine Paddleford and C. P. Haskin when she wrote about the interior of the church.  Paddleford also wrote articles under the name of Mrs. Clement Haskin, Clemence Haskin, and Clementine Haskin.  In 1932, a malignant growth was removed from her larynx, along with her vocal cords, resulting in her breathing through a tube in her throat and relearning speech with a new set of muscles.  While she avoided public speaking, Paddleford adapted to her handicap, not allowing it to interfer with her life or work.
Paddleford became a food editor for the <emph render='italic'>New York Herald-Tribune</emph> from 1936 to 1966.  From 1940 to her death in 1967, she contributed a weekly column on food to <emph render='italic'>This Week</emph> magazine, a syndicated Sunday supplement available in many newspapers throughout the United States.  From 1941 to 1953, Paddleford contributed a monthly column to <emph render='italic'>Gourmet</emph> Magazine.  Paddleford also wrote freelance features in many national publications such as <emph render='italic'>The American Home</emph>, <emph render='italic'>Design for Living</emph>, and <emph render='italic'>House Beautiful</emph>.
In 1943, Paddleford opened her home to a deceased friend’s daughter, Claire Duffe, whom she raised as her own.  She learned to pilot a plane to speed up her research, zigzagging across the United States and the Atlantic.  Paddleford’s career gave her the opportunity to explore a wide range of experiences, from a mess hall for lumberjacks in the Northwest woods and chili parlors in Texas, to a hobo camp in Kansas and dinners of state with kings.
Paddleford turned her vast experience in food writing to good use, publishing several cook books.  In 1948, <emph render='italic'>Recipes from Anotine’s Kitch</emph>e<emph render='italic'>n</emph> was published.  Her homage to her mother, <emph render='italic'>A Flower for My Mother</emph>, was published in 1958.  Her most important work, <emph render='italic'>How America Eats</emph>, was published in 1960, and was the first book to really study the regional cuisine within the United States.  In 1966, <emph render='italic'>Clementine Paddleford’s Cook Young Cookbook </emph>was published, with recipes culled from over 35,000 letters.
Clementine Haskin Paddleford died November 13, 1967 in New York.  She is buried in the Grandview-Mill Creek-Stockdale Cemetery on Fairview Church Road, Riley, Kansas.

M. Lester Cox was a 1930 graduate of Kansas State Agricultural College with a degree in agriculture. He farmed until after World War II and then worked as an agriculture extension agent in Chautauqua, Chase, Riley, and Gove counties.

David Dary is a native of Manhattan, Kansas, where he was born in 1934. A great grandfather, Carl Engel, settled in Manhattan in 1865 and was an early merchant. David’s maternal grandfather was Archie W. Long, one-time mayor of Manhattan, who owned the Long Oil Company. David’s parents are the late Russell and Ruth Long Dary of Manhattan. His mother received her master’s degree from K-State in 1926. David is a graduate of Kansas State University (1956). He later earned a graduate degree from the University of Kansas in Lawrence.
After graduating from K-State he began a career in broadcast journalism at WIBW radio and television in Topeka and later worked in Texas before joining CBS News in Washington, D.C. where he covered the last months of the Eisenhower and then the Kennedy administrations. Dary introduced Kennedy on CBS for the president’s Cuban Missile Crisis speech and later overflew and observed Soviet ships carrying missiles out-bound from Cuba. In 1963 he was recruited by NBC News to be manager of local news in Washington, D.C. Although in management, he was frequently heard anchoring NBC’s Monitor weekend news programs.
