Repeating the Dedication from a 1985 fair program

for the Crawford County Fair in Grayling, Michigan,

I dedicate Dirt Farmer’s Son to my dad,

Bernard Leo Maurer.

Bernard Maurer and his grandmother Lennon, in 1937 on the farm in Crawford County, Michigan.

The Crawford County Fair Association dedicate this premium Fair Program

to Bernard L. Maurer, who passed away April 24, 1985,

at the age of seventy.

We knew him as a judge of livestock at our first fair in 1983.

We knew him as a resident of Crawford County since 1935.

We knew him as a farmer who had interest in agriculture,

horticulture, and animal husbandry.

We knew him as a member of Mercy

Hospital’s maintenance staff.

We knew him as a county commissioner for six years.

We knew him as a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

We knew him as an outspoken man who lived

and promoted the family, the work ethic, and

the proper role of government as well as other

so-called old-fashioned ideas.

We knew him best as a friend with a sense

of humor and a knowing twinkle in his eye.
