Andy was a graduate of the Agricultural College of Manhattan (Kansas State University) where he received a Bachelor’s in Animal Husbandry in 1936. Jobs were almost non-existent at the time, so Andy took the advice of the Extension Service and pursued a degree in a brand new field called Vocational Agriculture. He taught 1 year in Alton KS before taking on a teaching position in Williamsburg, KS in 1938. After a briefly teaching in Wellsville, KS Andy returned to Williamsburg where he remained until his retirement in 1983 at the age of 72. He was proud of the success of his Vo-Ag program, but credited supportive parents and students who worked hard and wanted to learn. One of his greatest loves was his association with the Future Farmers of America (F.F.A.). During his career, students earned American Farmer Degrees, State Farmer Degrees and Andy received the FFA’s Honorary American Farmer Degree.
He was preceded in death by his parents; four sisters Mildred Rollins, Neva Ramsey, Norma Lea Mihalevich and Beulah Walker; one brother Roger Anderson.
