Roger Bond Martin is best remembered in Detroit Lakes as a leader of the Laker football team in the early 1950s -- an era that has been referred to as the ‘glory days’ of Laker football. He then played football for the University of Minnesota during his undergraduate studies there. Not as well known locally is that Martin went on to Harvard after that, attaining his master’s degree in landscape architecture, and then enjoyed a long and illustrious career in the field. He's pictured here circa 1980, on the Lake Superior shore. (University of Minnesota Photo)
