Aaron Bernard Everett, 93, died October 27, 2019. Aaron served his country honorably in the Navy from 1943 to 1946 in the Pacific Theater. After the war, the Navy wanted Aaron to become an officer and at first, he liked the idea and they enrolled him at the University of Idaho. He initially was part of the ROTC program but soon found that his love of Foreign languages was stronger than the desire to continue with the military. He finished his undergraduate degree from Idaho with honors and applied to the University of Oregon at Eugene in 1950 to work on his Master's degree in French Literature. In 1950 he went to Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa and taught Spanish. In 1954, Aaron took a position at ASU teaching French. Shortly, he moved to Philadelphia to work on his PhD in French Literature at University of Pennsylvania. In 1955, he taught French at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT. In 1961 he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to teach French at a boy's high school, Lycee de Garcon in Metz, France for one year. In 1962, he moved to Yellow Springs, Ohio where he taught French at the avant-garde Antioch College. In 1966, Aaron received a grant from the Peace Corps to oversee the teaching of English in Colombian schools. In 1967 he returned to Ohio and in 1968, joined the faculty at  Gustavus Adolphus College. In 1987, Aaron was invited to be an exchange Professor at Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka, Japan. He had been studying Japanese for some time and had become literate. He taught first year students English since his Japanese was quite good. In 1990, he retired from Gustavus and returned to Kansai Gaidai for four years while his wife taught English. While in Japan, he studied Japanese and Japanese culture. Aaron is survived by his wife, Mary, two children and three grandchildren. A funeral service was held for Aaron at the Church of St. Peter, 1801 Broadway Ave, St Peter on November 5th at 11:00 am.
