Sage Veterans Fuel Industry Bloodlines — Michelson

Speaking of industry veterans, I’m sad to report the passing of long-time PRINTING IMPRESSIONS contributor Roger Dickeson, whose monthly “Dickeson on Productivity” column was a mainstay in our magazine since the late 1970s. Internationally known as the father of the War on Waste, Roger surely left big footprints. A Marine Corps captain and pilot in WW II who flew some 50 missions in the South Pacific, he went on to earn an MBA in accounting and then a law degree. Roger left his law practice in 1964 to become CEO of Nebraska Farmer Co., a printer and publisher, followed by stints at several other printers over the next two decades. He also authored four books and launched a consulting firm, PREM Associates.
