In response to lagging salmon runs, Ladd helped develop the non-profit hatchery as a means to enhance both the area salmon runs and the Southeast economy. He included a visitor center in the final hatchery design to support local education and tourism. He graduated from Juneau Douglas High School and the University of Montana with a degree in biology, a teaching certificate, and a minor in Russian. He married his high school sweetheart Linda, and they raised four children in Juneau. Throughout his life, he was dedicated to education. He taught biology at Marie Drake Junior-High school and then began an environmental education program, including outdoor-education camp for 6th grade students, sea week, emergency and outdoor survival classes and an immigration education program for students to experience the imaginary life of the Yukon gold rush of 1898. Ladd was known as a creative thinker with a can-do attitude. With his young family living in the Mendenhall valley, he build a barn and stocked it with sheep, geese, chickens, rabbits, and other farm animals. Coaching baseball for many years was a favorite pastime. He could spend hours working on game plans with friends and his sons. He was an operator of the Marie Drake Planetarium. He played drums, piano, and helped found Stroller White Pipes and Drums as a bagpiper, By example, he taught others they could be anything they wanted to be, to live each day to the fullest, to give your best, and ask for forgiveness. Sadly, while visiting hatcheries in south central Alaska on state business, Ladd was killed by a drunk driver on April 19, 2000.
