| Matt and Anne Burkholder with their children on the family farm. |
From the start of a piece on KSNB-TV in Grand Island, Nebraska:
The list of people that grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida and then moved to Cozad, Nebraska is pretty short.
But regardless, Anne Burkholder is a proud member of that elite group. She went from the city to the farm and became 'The Feedyard Foodie.' Anne was a competitive swimmer, went to college to swim and to learn. "I went to Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. I also like to laugh that the best thing that I found at Dartmouth was my husband Matt."
Like Anne, Matt was a long way from home, "Matt was a farm boy from Cozad, went to Cozad High School and went to Dartmouth to play football and run track."To read the full transcript and watch the video, CLICK HERE.

Although he's played a lot of rounds at the Dartmouth College golf course and had a lot of close calls, yesterday's round resulted in a first on a steep uphill hole that tees off near the bottom of the late and lamented Vale de Tempe ski jump:
