Nicholas Hobson
Nicholas Hobson is the grandson of Bob Hobson ’57. That’s Nicholas motoring down the slopes at Squaw Valley. As you can tell, it’s a competitive setting…
The kicker? Nicholas is 5 years old. That’s right, 5! Now, the Grunge couldn’t a stand up on skis without falling over and here’s young Nicholas flying down the slopes. Beauty of it all is he’s too young to be missing first grade!
SCC director Scott Crawford outlines program
The Schroeder Center for Career Development kicked off a new program last Thursday evening. Through the generosity of the Schroeder Family, the Center will be offering micro-grants to students to start their entrepreneurial careers.
Joe Trebley '01
Joe Trebley ’01, Head of Startup Support and Promotion at Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation, was the featured speaker at the kickoff. Joe explained the basics of starting a new enterprise. He explained that every idea evolves and the key ingredients to success are hard work and selling your ideas.
Betsy Knott also talked about the opportunities available to our students in the Business Immersion Program this coming summer.
A good evening. A bunch of guys attended who had some interesting ideas with a boatload of possibility. Stay tuned for greatness!
Kevin McCarthy '12
What a Spring Break!!!
Blogged last week about Kevin McCarthy ’12 as the reigning National Champion for Div III in the indoor mile. Remember, he just missed the National record for the mile.Kevin has been a star in Track and in Cross Country at Wabash.
Kevin also garnered another NCAA honor – NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship! These scholarships are great honors and the competition is just as keen as a National Meet – heck, it IS a National Meet! Kevin plans to go on to Medical or Nursing School.
See the story here.
Congrats, Kevin!
Wes Chamblee '12
Wes Chamblee worked out for NFL scouts recently at the Ball State Pro Day. His dream is to play football at the next level and he’s love to go to the NFL but will also take a look at the Arena league and other opportunities.
Wes is a great young man – we’d love to see him catch on somewhere. With Pierre Garcon leaving the Colts, I think Wes would fit right in!
Read the story here.
Good luck Wes – you’re Some Little Giant.
Reed Manges '34
This is the 3rd report we’ve had on a new member of the Class of 2034. Keep this up and we can scale back Admissions!
That’s Reed Manges ’34, son of Marcus ’10 and Jesika Manges. Born on March 11, 2012. John Dewart ’10, who sent me the photo, reports that he think Marcus already has begun making tuition payments to Wabash so young Reed may have limited choices!
Mother and son doing fine. Congrats!
Lee Clark '73
Lee Clark ’73 is running for Hamilton County Commissioner for the 2nd District. Lee’s been quite active as a board member of the Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men and you have seen him on the sidelines at Wabash football games as a cameraman (we “media” guys stick together.)
Lee majored in Political Science at the ‘Bash – he also earned an MBA from Ball State. Lee has lived in Hamilton County for over 33 years. Lee’s father served as a superintendent of Hamilton Southeastern Schools – so public service runs deep in the family.
Keep an eye out on the ballot, Hamilton County voters!
Kevin McCarthy '12 - Focused!
Kevin McCarthy in the new national champion in the indoor one-mile run. Time was 4:08:93, just shy of the record 4:08:19.
Kevin’s a great runner and I think his face in the photo – “borrowed” from our web site – tells it all. He had a plan, he stuck to the plan, and when the going got tough, he was the toughest.
Hailing from a place whose motto is “Wabash Always Fights”…there’s no surprise in his focus or effort.
Nice to hear those words…National Champion! Some Little Giant!
Glenn Pride '63 and Emmanuel Aouad '10
That’s Glenn Pride ’63 on the left. He’s a Wabash runner. He’ll be inducted into the Hall of Fame this coming November. Glenn is a Delt and Bio major. He told a couple of tales about running on a cinder track at the Wabash dinner on March 7, 2012.
That’s Emmanuel Aouad ’10 on the right. He’s a Wabash runner. He also had a storied career at Wabash. Last weekend, he spent hours watching the NCAC indoor meet on his computer. Emmanuel is an independent and Economics major. He told tales about Clyde Morgan and Rob Johnson. Not jokes – sheer admiration.
Two Wabash brothers in every sense – experiences that will and have lasted a lifetime.
Luke Zinsmaster '12
Luke, call sign “Zeus”, is our “closer”. In the fall he’s been a stalwart as a defensive end for coach Raeburn. When baseball season comes around, he transitions to a human flame thrower.
Luke gutted out the last two innings against Texas Lutheran Tuesday…and I mean “gutted out”. When we arrived Monday, Luke was dealing with a bout of food poisoning. Somehow he found the strength to pitch those final two innings when the Texas Lutheran Bulldogs were doing everything they could to pull off the come-from-behind victory.
Wabash Always Fights! So does Zeus.
Mark Cevallos '99, Athletic Director Joe Haklin '73, and Janis Edralin
Our Athletic Director Joe Haklin ’73, a true scholar-athlete during his time as a Wabash student, and I are traveling in Texas this week. We caught Wabash’s victory over Texas Lutheran yesterday, had dinner with Local San Antonio alumni and Wabash parents last night, and are off to Dallas later this morning.
Joe’s a great ambassador for Wabash. He talked with all of the alumni and parents here yesterday. He knows coaching and he knows managing an Athletics Department. Good guy to have on the Little Giants sidelines, for sure.
