DeKrey named Game and Fish deputy

State Game and Fish Director Terry Steinwand has appointed Duane DeKrey as the agency’s new deputy director.

DeKrey began his new position Jan. 1. Game and Fish had been without a deputy director since June when Roger Rostvet, who had served in the position since 1998, retired.

DeKrey, a native of Pettibone in northern Kidder County, served in the North Dakota Legislature for 20 years and was a member of the House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee.
