    Marvin Spracklen was born in Crawford on May 17, 1925, and grew up farming in the Chadron area.

He taught for two years at Chadron High School and then for 13 years at Grant Junior High in Denver, Colorado. Marvin was cast in an advertisement campaign that gave him the money to pursue his doctorate degree at Northern Colorado University. The family moved to Kearney in 1965 and Marvin was a professor of educational psychology at Kearney State College until his retirement in 1990. Marvin was a caring husband, a fun father and always an educator.
