Kathie Rosenquist
We have had the pleasure of working with Kathie Rosenquist as board members and committee members over the past 25 plus years. Kathie has spent countless hours over the years working on behalf of Branch 15 with both activities and operations. She has been instrumental in the planning, completion and operation of our Wolf Ironworks Museum at Powerland Heritage Park in Brooks, Oregon.
Kathie and her husband David have attended many National EDGE&TA Shows representing our club, including the 2016 National Show in Palmer, Alaska. If there is a meeting or an activity that Branch 15 is involved in, Kathie will most always be there.
We have found that Kathie has great organizational skills and is creative in finding solutions to succeed in whatever project is at hand. She is easy to work with and is an inspiration to everyone working with her. Many times Kathie has stepped up to take on a board position or committee when no one else was willing to make a commitment. Branch 15 and EDGE&TA owe Kathie a debt of gratitude for all of her hard work and perseverance over the past many years and her continued commitment for the future.
Ed Weidinger
Ed Weidinger was part of a small group of individuals that got together at a friend’s place to share their love for old iron and times long past. It started as a group event but soon started to draw people from the local areas as spectators. By 1988 the group decided to join EDGE&TA, becoming Branch 29. Ed has always been involved with the growth of our club, expressing his opinions on issues good or bad. He served as President of Branch 29 until 1999.
He always shows up for club work days and has always been involved with the planting of wheat for our threshing bee. Ed displays his shingle mill every year making shingles during our show. For many years he set up a trailer with small engines and hand crank corn huskers for the kids to enjoy.
Ed is also one of our announcers during our show keeping the crowd entertained with his many stories and anecdotes.
