Was privileged to have Dean as my science teacher for a couple of years and eventually as principal at VHS. The man knew his rocks and archery hunting. Used to see him occasionally at the Nebraska State Office building. Good teacher. He will be missed.

Memories of Dr.Bergman as our principal at VHS. A wonderful kind man. I had a chance to visit with him briefly when I began a job for Cedar Bluffs Public. The world just got a little smaller without him in it. He will be missed. Sympathy to his family for their loss!

I had the opportunity to archery hunt with Dean on a few occasions years ago including being ‘lost in the wilderness’ while north of the artic circle in Alaska. He was a great and interesting person to know with a witty sense of humor that I enjoyed, he will be missed by all that know him.
