Born November 9, 1945 into a local fisherman’s family outside a small town, Risor, in Norway, I graduated as electrical engineer in 1970 from Bergen Technical College and in 1972 from South Dakota School of Mines & Technology in Rapid City. I worked a short time for Sturgeon Electric and Gates Rubber Company in Denver, CO before moving back to Norway in 1974 where I worked for a major electrical engineering firm, National Elektro, as a senior engineer and department manager for offshore instrumentation projects. I was also involved within our concern in various contract negotiations for offshore oilfield installation jobs in the North Sea. I quit the life as an engineer in 1982, moved back home and started a lapidary company which I am still running today. For 25 years I have organized Scandinavia’s largest Gem & Mineral Show. I started a local community development association where I live and served as the chair person for 16 years. I have also been on the board of the local historical society for a number of years. In Norway the lower courts use one judge and two appointed “assisting judges” from the “common people”; I have served as such for almost 30 years. My interest in bluegrass came in the late 80ties and came in full bloom in the 90ties. With no visible bluegrass scene in Norway I started a bluegrass radio program on the local radio in 2001, Norway’s only bluegrass festival in 2002 and NoBMA, the Norwegian Bluegrass Music Association, the same year. Risor Bluegrass Festival has added a 4-day bluegrass workshop since then, making it a full week event. I am currently on the European Bluegrass Music Association (EBMA) board and coordinate the National Representatives. I am also working on a European bluegrass festival network under the EBMA umbrella. I have done the Leadership Bluegrass in 2007, the International Bluegrass Summit in 2008 and the European Bluegrass Summits in 2009 and 2010.
Mike Simpson: Finance and ROMP Committees Mike Simpson is the President and Owner of Chandler Property Management, a real estate management and investment company headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Mike grew up in Bluegrass music as his mother's family lived in Rosine. Mike and his father would often hunt along Jerusalem Ridge and would use the porch of the Bill Monroe homeplace as place to rest. His great-grandfather, Cleveland "Clea" Baize, was known to have played his fiddle alongside Pendelton Vandiver at the "ol' Lizer place" on Jerusalem Ridge. Mike's father played a Martin D-28 guitar and the family traveled to Bluegrass festivals on the weekends from the time Mike was a small boy. His fondest memories of those trips are from Bean Blossom and all the great acts assembled there. After graduating from high school Mike went to Western Kentucky University where he earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees. He completed additional collegiate work at Kentucky Wesleyan College. Mike is married to his college sweetheart, Kim, who owns "Junkyard Gypsies" consignment store in Bowling Green and serves as Director of Food Services for the Bowling Green Independent School District. They are both active with Western Kentucky University serving on various Boards on "the Hill". Mike and Kim have one son, Cleveland, named for his fiddle playing great-great-grandfather.

-New Trustee: Bio will be forthcoming by the November 2011 board meeting Ralph Wible: Ralph Wible (Having been entertained by Mrs. Kuykendall's first person account, I have done it too.) I am a lifetime resident of Owensboro. I had my undergraduate education at Indiana University and law school at Vanderbilt. For 40 years I was in the private practice of law representing businesses and families in office practice and litigation. I have served on a number of local, state and professional boards and have been active in my church. I Gayle Scott of Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1967. She was an undergraduate at Vanderbilt while I was in law school. She had Owensboro connections with an aunt and uncle and cousins here. We have two sons, both of whom received graduate degrees from Yale--one in architecture (now in Nashville) and one in law (now in New York). I am not a musician but I have enjoyed bluegrass music for many years, probably beginning during the time I spent in the army near Warrenton, Virginia in the late 50's. In recent years Owensboro has been blessed with great bluegrass events and my interest has become greater than ever.
