Rich Holzapfel was born and raised in Garretson before joining the Alaska Railroad. While on vacation home in 1976, his grandfather had a heart attack and was rushed to McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls - that's where he met the ward nurse who would become his wife of 45 years. The landscape around Garretson helped seal the deal for his marriage proposal after their third date before he returned to Alaska.
