When asked what the highlights to his career have been, Burkman stated, "I have really enjoyed my time at Idaho State University and have known or worked for every instructor in the Graphic Arts/Printing Technology program, all but the first one hired in the 1930's."
Other highlights for Burkman include reviewing the Lewis and Clark graphic arts curriculum for accreditation and printing various items such as the Bengal Newspaper, which received several print quality awards when the program used to print it.
Burkman and his wife have been married for 40 years and plan to spend a good part of retirement visiting their grandchildren in western Idaho and visiting friends throughout the U.S. Burkman's main goal is to complete his Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resource Training and Development. His retirement plans also include helping his brothers farm and ranch; camping; hunting; fishing; mountain climbing; riding bicycles; and making a playhouse for his grandchildren.
