Passing of Milt Olsson
Dear ACDA-MI colleagues:
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Milt Olsson, Professor Emeritus of Music at Michigan Tech. Milt served ACDA-MI for many years on the board, including a term as President, and was a Maynard Klein Award winner in 2011. The attached link describes his many contributions to musical life at MTU and to the Houghton/Hancock/Keewenaw region during his long career. His contribution to us in ACDA-MI started with his steady presence – when there was a gathering, even in his retirement, it seemed he was always there. We all knew he had to travel much farther than anyone else – but I never recall him making an issue of it. He understood what it meant to invest his time toward a worthwhile goal – something I’ll be mindful of in his memory. Condolences to his family.
