ALUMNI COUNCIL REPORT

The single most important area for Alumni Council involvement at Dana is Homecoming. This year several members of the council went above and beyond the call of duty to give important assistance for Homecoming.

For many events at Homecoming, council members were vital support workers. We couldn’t have done it without them. Council members who worked on these tasks were Ingvert Appel ’58, Alvina (Larsen ’48) Hjortsvang, Keith Jensen ’56, Kathy (Niemeyer ’68) Kuster, John Laughhunn ’64, Cheryl (Paulsen ’68) Nielsen, Alan Pedersen ’80, Maxine (Lubkeman ’68) Scott, Bob Rademacher ’64 and Doug Renken ’66. Special thanks also goes to spouses Sharon Appel, Darlene (Haecker ’67) Rademacher and Audrey Jensen. President Trasy Sparr ’93 spoke on behalf of the alumni at the Distinguished Alumni and Outstanding Young Alumni Luncheon and the Athletic Hall of Fame Induction.

Alumni involvement at the Hofbräuhaus event is another area to celebrate. Former council member Nathan Krämer ’89 was the creative planner of the Hofbräuhaus event at the Old Fire Hall in Blair, where 300 alumni ate a delicious meal and celebrated Dana. The following alumni and friends were instrumental in putting together the meal and hilarious program: Karla (Schutt ’81) Schulze, Ellen Stokebrand ’83, Mark Juergens ’85, Jim Olsen ’62, Jim Iversen ’55, Dale Larsen ’56, Dick Jensen ’56, David Iversen ’86, Ernie “Greek” Abariotes ’65, Herb Knudsen ’63, Jean (Wood ’76) and Paul Hundtoft ’76, Liz (Miller ’82) and Paul Johnson ’76, Barb (Wolf ’73) Triplett, Dawn (Carper ’74) and John Mark Nielsen ’73, Gene Lindblad, Myrvin Christopherson ’61, Duey Heffelfinger ’88, Michael Martin ’83, Luci Lindahl ’83 and Richard Jorgensen ’64.

All of us involved in alumni affairs hope you will join us 2004 for Homecoming 2004, “New Trails to Blaze!”
