1988. In 1972, when John Chancellor took over as anchor of the NBC Nightly News, Chancellor selected Rosholt as his personal producer and head editor. They worked together until Chancellor was replaced by Tom Brokaw. Transferring to NBC News Computers, Rosholt finished his career rising to the level of director and retiring in 1988. Vesterheim Museum In 1996, Rosholt was asked by Darell Henning, curator of Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum, to compile a database of Norwegian immigrants who fought in the U.S. Civil War. In 2003, Vesterheim opened an exhibit on Norwegian-American soldiers. Accompanying the exhibit was the database and a book, also written by Rosholt, titled Ole Goes to War: Men from Norway Who Fought in America's Civil War. The book contained stories and pictures Rosholt had found during his research. In September 2006, Rosholt was awarded the St Olav's medal by King Harald V of Norway "in recognition of [his] great services to Norway, in particular [his] active involvement with the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum on its Civil War project." The medal was presented on October 21 in Decorah, Iowa, by Norwegian Consul General Rolf Hansen. Personal life Rosholt married Carolyn Janelle Hanson (1926–1993) on August 28, 1947, in Oak Park, Illinois. They had three sons.
