In Memory

Robert Meyerson

Robert Meyerson, Chairman of Harvest Bank, passed away on March 5 at home surrounded by family. The first to attend college in his family, Robert graduated from Columbia University in 1966. He went on to study German Intellectual History at the University of Minnesota, graduating with a Ph.D. in 1972. When demand for historians, particularly in his specialty, during the Vietnam War, precipitously declined, Bob’s Mother-in-Law, and Atwater State Bank President, Ruth Danielson, famously said, “Why don’t you work in the bank until you get a real job?” He did. With a mixture of determination and reluctance, he devoted his years to learning about banking and working for and growing the family business. Along with excellent staff, Bob grew the bank from a one town bank to a six-location, two-bank holding company with its banks serving as many financial services as possible to promote their local economies.
