Larry Rowen Remele Award

Following the tragic and untimely death of Larry Remele in 1988, the Governor's Council of the Northern Great Plains History Conference established the Larry Rowen Remele Award in his honor. Larry was the editor of North Dakota History, a past conference Program Chair, and a great advocate of this Conference in many different ways. His death saddened all who knew him and left a void in the upper-Midwest historical community. The award is presented annually to the person who has best exemplified the scholarship, spirit and dedication of Larry to the study of history and who has made significant contributions to the NGPHC.

The recipient of the Larry Rowen Remele Award for 2001 is Dr. Harl Dalstrom. Harl earned his Ph.D. at University of Nebraska - Lincoln, and has had a long and distinguished career at the University of Nebraska - Omaha. Over the years his contributions to Nebraska and Plains history have been outstanding. Among other works, he has authored major biographies on Eugene Eppley, one of the mid-west's most interesting businessmen and philanthropists, and on Mayor A.V. Sorensen and the "new" Omaha. He is currently hard at work on yet another book-length study, Upstream People: A History of Greater Omaha along with two collaborators well known to this conference, Larry Larsen and Barbara Cottrell. Dr. Dalstrom has also been a frequent contributor to the NGPHC since its very inception - including a long stint on the Governor's Council - and has long been a driving force behind its sister conference, the Missouri Valley History Conference. In short, Dr. Dalstrom's scholarly career perfectly exemplifies the spirit of the Larry Rowen Remele Award.
 

Publications Exhibit

Books and other publications will be on exhibit in the Holiday Inn's Eielson Room. Exhibit hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. Coffee breaks will also be held in the publisher's exhibit area.
