Malachi Petersen0

Malachi Petersen: How long have you worked in here?

Lowell Knutson: Pushing eight years now.

MP: What’s it like working in Al Neuharth?

LK: Well it’s real good. I farmed for like 100 years and all of the sudden I needed to do something different, so here I am. There’s good climate control and good friendly people.

MP: What does your job entail?

LK: Most people don’t even realize. I clean the floors and the bathrooms and all of that and then you need to dust and polish every inch of the building basically.

MP: What advice would you give incoming first-years?

LK: Stay with school. Stick in there and get a degree. That piece of paper means a whole lot.
