immigration from Switzerland He said he found Cache Valley a place of beauty that reminded him of his home country “And I still feel that way” Gossner says "When I go to work in Logan from my home in Smithfield each morning I think I am in paradise This must be the most ideal place to live "It is just unbelievable to make a good living and live in paradise too” In the early '40's Gossner began to contact farmers in the area and together they started a partnership and built a Swiss cheese operation The plant prospered and soon the product — Swiss cheese — was of such quality that it became nationally recognized The farmers were soon getting the highest price in the United States for milk whereas only a few years before the price obtained was among the lowest nationally "As far as a cheesemaker is concerned this was and is the zenith” Gossner explained "with the perfect climate environment everything Both my wife and I enthusiastically agreed on settling here” The Gossner family has built their family business into an operation of in sales approximately 30 million-plu- s annually They operate two plants the Logan plant employing from 125 to 150 persons and a plant in Nampa Idaho in partnership with another Swiss family Paul and Jean Brog “And we have been able to do it as a family” Gossner said "It thrills me to see my children and grandchildren involved It is an ideal project for our family "It was my wife who helped to make the whole thing happen She was the one who said I should start over she was the one who encouraged me and I owe so much to her influence” Concerning his hospital contribution Gossner admits it is sizeable "But I think our biggest contribution is what we have done for the local economy having brought in an industry that justifies the highest price farmers can get for their product That is the biggest contribution my wife and I have made" Gossner said he expects the new hospital to retain and attract the "best of physicians” He said he envisions the hospital as being a tremendous addition to the concept of Logan being the hub of the area “We are turning from a quiet farm community” he says "into a haven for many industries and new families And the hospital is an important part of that” As new businesses and families arrive in Cache Valley Mr Gossner is even more sure of his dream of America's future “Young people need the inspiration to know that hard work and free thinking can bring about great things A person can still express their whole body and soul in this country and this -
