Allan Fredrickson - Golden Service

The Golden Service award goes to a DCB Alum who has retired or is approaching the traditional retirement age after a successful career or exceptional achievement. This individual’s work must have contributed to society in a beneficial way and has set a good example for their community. Allan Fredrickson of Mount Vernon, Washington attended the ND State School of Forestry from 1951-1952 and dedicated his life to serving others.  He served in the US Army before continuing his education at the University of Minnesota to garner his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. He has a 45-year career as a veterinarian, with a special interest in equine medicine.  He married Barbara Nelson in 1960 in Bottineau before moving out to Washington State.

Allan has spent much of his career and retirement serving others by opening a spay and neuter clinic for small pets and working with animal shelters to control pet overpopulation. Allan is a published author of three books, and he took on a special desk-building project in 2020 to help kids have a place to do their homework while they studied remotely during the pandemic. He and Barbara continue to show their appreciation for the School of Forestry, now Dakota College Bottineau, by co-endowing a scholarship in memory of Barbara’s parents, Alice and C.N. Nelson.
