摘要

Oscar M. Wicken was born Jan. 16,1913 in Spokane, WA to Norwegian immigrants. He died Apr. 3,2005 in Florida at the age of 92. Wicken was an active member of SME for 61 years and a member of the Legion of Honor. He traveled to SME meetings until he was almost 90. Of all the places he lived, he called Pittsburgh, PA home the longest. It remained the sentimental home that he frequently returned to visit while spending most of the last years in Florida. In the course of a busy, challenging and productive life, he was a remarkable man who left a deep impression on those he met. As a young boy, Wicken listened to his father recite experiences from his days of working in the Continental Mine in Northern Idaho. Subsequent years of listening to old-time prospectors reminiscing about experiences in the gold, lead, silver and copper operations in the West helped fix his goal to work in the minerals industry. After earning his M.S. in metallurgical engineering from the University of Idaho in 1941, he went to work for Northwest Magnesite in Chewelah, WA. He later transferred to its seawater magnesia operation in Cape May, NJ as plant manager. In 1952, he was hired by Foote Mineral in Kingsport, TN to be the manager of the plant being constructed for production of lithium hydroxide used in nuclear weaponry. In 1955, he accepted an offer from Bonneville in Salt Lake City, UT to become general manager of its potash operation based on solar evaporation.

Wicken）于1913年1月16日出生于华盛顿州的斯波坎，为挪威移民。他于2005年4月3日在佛罗里达去世，享年92岁。Wicken是SME的活跃会员已有61年，并为荣誉军团成员。他一直参加中小型企业会议，直到他将近90岁。在他居住的所有地方中，他称宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的住所最长。过去的大部分时间他都在佛罗里达度过，但他仍然经常回到这家感性的住所。在忙碌，充满挑战和富有成效的生活中，他是一位了不起的人，对他遇到的人留下了深刻的印象。小时候，维肯听了父亲在爱达荷州北部的大陆矿工作时的背诵经历。随后的几年里，他们听了一些古老的探矿者的回忆，这些回忆使人回想起西方在金，铅，银和铜矿开采方面的经验，这帮助他确定了在矿产行业工作的目标。获得硕士学位后他于1941年从爱达荷大学（University of Idaho）的冶金工程专业毕业，就职于华盛顿州Chewelah的西北菱镁矿。后来，他转任新泽西州梅普角的海水氧化镁工厂的工厂经理。 1952年，他被田纳西州金斯波特的Foote Mineral雇用，担任正在建造的生产用于核武器的氢氧化锂的工厂的经理。 1955年，他接受了犹他州盐湖城邦纳维尔（Bonneville）的邀请，成为该公司基于太阳蒸发的钾肥业务总经理。
