Two comments:
Footnote 2, the Olsen Memorial, sheds no light on Zimmermann or the co-ops issue.
Footnote 3, the Craig Cox book, links to an Amazon sales page. There is no research content, nor is the one unique customer review particularly helpful. A link to a full review of the book would be better. The brief review at Footnote 4 (Moscowfood) is not in depth. --Mr Grant 19:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I have many comments about Dean Zimmermann, having known him since 1972. But briefly:
a. As a student at University of North Dakota (I believe), he went around the upper midwest raising money and recruiting volunteers for the Freedom Rides in the early 1960s.
b. He was one of the early founders (circa 1970) of one of the first food co-ops in Minneapolis, North Country Coop. He also helped start the first warehouse to service the coop system, known as People's Warehouse. In all these efforts, he was a member (albeit one of the most prominent) of collectives.
c. For many years, he was the most visible proponent of coops throughout the region. Nearly every coop that was begun between 1970 and 1975 will say that his contributions were essential.
d. To answer Mr. Grant, his move into the "Coop Organization" was seen by former friends as a severe blow and betrayal. The "CO" proclaimed itself as Stalinist, and dismissed the political analysis of its opponents as "hippie escapist" or "health food elitist".
e. Kris Olson is cited because he assumed the mantle of advocate and organizer after Dean Z. went to the "Stalinist" side.

The citation provided does not say that Zimmerman and Olson worked together to write the legislation. There seems to be an effort here to associate Olson and Zimmerman — though they both favored PRT and have spoken to each other, the implication is that there is a strong relationship between the two. A link to Zimmermann was also included on the Olson page; what is the purpose of establishing the relationship between the two? — ERcheck (talk) 00:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
