Andresen Memorial Scholarship
Every year since 1985, the Andresen Family of rural Chadwick has awarded the Randy and Rodney Andresen Memorial scholarships to graduating seniors. Even though they were afflicted with muscular dystrophy, they still attended school and graduated with honors in 1979 and 1980. They worked hard, rarely complained and were truly an inspiration to their family, friends, and classmates.
In 2012, the family decided to rename the scholarships the Andresen Memorial Scholarship, still in honor of Randy and Rodney. With the passing of Kay in 2017 and Harold in 2025, the scholarships now also honor their memory and the legacy of generosity they built together.
