Rick Hogan was 16, a junior at Grand Forks Central High School, when he asked Hugo Magnuson for a job in his grocery store.
This week he’s retiring, as produce education director, after nearly 46 years with Hugo’s Family Marketplace, a chain of 10 grocery stores in North Dakota and Minnesota. Today will be his last day of work, he said.
“It’s going to be a hard day — I get emotional just thinking about it — but also a happy one,” he said.
His first day on the job was Dec. 6, 1973. His mother, Elaine Albrecht, had encouraged him to find part-time work.
