Everett Beauford Anderson, 75, of Prescott, WI, died at his home on Tuesday, July 17, 2001. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in April 1997.
He was born on Aug. 26, 1925 in St. Paul to Frank and Mabel Anderson. Everett grew up in Rush City and graduated from high school there in 1943.
Following graduation, he attended the Minneapolis Business College and was employed in Minneapolis and Los Angeles until 1945. He entered the U.S. Army and was stationed in Alaska.
After receiving his honorable discharge from the service, Everett attended Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1950. He took his first teaching position in Delano.
As a member of the Army Reserve, Everett was called to serve in October 1950 during the Korean Conflict. He had to give up his first teaching job, but when he returned to civilian life in 1952, he held positions in Ogilvie, Pipestone and Moorhead.
In 1956, he became a member of the English department at Edina Morningside High School in Edina. In 1964, he received his Master of Arts degree from the University of Washington. He retired from the Edina School district in 1985.
Educating young people became Everett's passion, and his love of literature was instilled in hundreds of secondary students. Over the years, a number of former students who long remembered him and the impact he had on their lives sent him letters and made personal visits.
In his retirement, Everett continued to enjoy substitute teaching in Edina and Rush City. A highlight for him was to be on the staff of the Departments of Education at St. Olaf College and Gustavus Adolphus College, serving as a supervisor of student teachers from 1986-89.
Everett was an avid reader, enjoyed traveling and was proud that he had visited all 50 states and also traveled abroad. His love of geography made him legendary in being able to identify the smallest of towns.
He is survived by his wife, Mabel (Moe) Anderson, whom he married in November 1966, brother and sister-in-law, Alton (Andy) and Sarah Anderson, Erhard, MN; nephew, David and wife, Renee, Anderson of St. Louis Park; nieces, Rebecca Anderson, Los Angeles, CA; and Kay Anderson, Bloomington; and grand niece, Tyra Anderson.
