'Boy oh boy': Farmer leaves millions for North Dakota school district

COLFAX, N.D. — Christmas has come early for the Richland 44 School District.

Darrel Hendrickson, a former Colfax-area farmer, bequeathed more than $4.5 million to be used for scholarships for Richland 44 students, Superintendent Dean Koppelman said Friday, Dec. 7.

Koppelman said the gift was announced at an assembly at the Colfax junior-senior high school, which included children from the elementary school in Abercrombie.
