Dynamic duo: NDSU Streeter station's founding couple to retire
STREETER, N.D. — In just a few weeks now, the Central Grasslands Research and Extension Center will not have what it has had in its entire 30-year history — Paul Nyren.
Nyren, 68, will retire on Feb. 29, ending a career that launched a research station and its mission that he helped define. His wife, Anne, who is the only operations officer the station has ever had, will shift into half-time work after running the station’s operations since 1981.
Nyrens’ background
Nyren, an Iowa native, had served as a radio man in the U.S. Coast Guard and received a master’s degree in range management at Washington State University, Pullman. He met his wife, Anne, a native of Ireland, in Seattle while she was there working in the banking business. When Nyren first came to North Dakota State University he worked at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service laboratory in Mandan. The position was in mine land reclamation, and Nyren worked with the renowned researcher and soil scientist Armand Bauer, and others. Later that year, he worked at NDSU’s Dickinson research center.
