Dairy Expo of the Central National

honored, I’m sure.”
The Oct. 30, 1984 edition of The
Frederick News Post gave an
account of Remsburg’s life and
sudden death at 60 years. “People
loved Doty Remsburg. He was cut
from a solid chunk of rugged
Americana. His voice was gruff
and his manner down to earth; but
he was genteel, a man who enjoyed
doing for others...a leader of in
ternational reknown in his work
with Holstein dairy animals.”
