Mark Flexter’s Book

Mark Flexter ’79 has a new book on Amazon.  Mark’s “Men of Letters” is available for download to your Kindle / iPad.

The ratings are very good – all say it’s an exciting read.  I just downloaded mine- here’s the link for you:

Charles Hintz ’13 with the Director of the Peace Corps in Morocco

I remember talking with Charles before Commencement.  He was excited to do his part in changing the world…as a Peace Corps Volunteer.

Well, he’s off and running in Morocco, according to his folks Cathy and Ed Hintz.

Charles is working in the area of youth development, teaching English and also HIV awareness.

Secretary of State John Kerry talks with the newest members of the Peace Corps working in Morocco – that’s Charles in the front row.

Changing the world – that’s what Wabash men do.

John C. Schroeder ’69 and Lora Hess talk with Ginny Schroeder (widow of John H. Schroeder ’42) and Don Korb ’45

We had a very nice reception and dinner in Evansville last Wednesday night.  Many thanks go out to John ’69 and Diane Schroeder for hosting the gathering at the Evansville Country Club.

It was a good combination of alumni, parents, and prospective students and their families.  President Hess talked about what many of our students have accomplished and also about what is happening at the College.  Everyone there looking at Wabash had to go away impressed.

Thanks as well to Chip Timmons ’96 in Admissions for all his work in brining together a great group of folks.

Last Saturday, the University of Tennessee held a special ceremony to name their track after their legendary coach, Stan Huntsman.  Stan coached Tennessee for 15 years including the National Championship team of 1974.

Stan is Wabash Class of 1954. Stan pointed out that he has joined his father as the Wabash track is named for his dad and Wabash legend, Owen Huntsman.  What a legacy for the Huntsman family!

Want to see Stan?  He’ll be on campus for the Big Bash this coming June – he’s celebrating his 60th reunion!

Had a chance to watch my first live Wabash Lacrosse match on Saturday as Wabash played it’s final home match as a club sport. Plenty of action – it took me some time to get used to the game from a photography standpoint.

Did get a few good photos – you can see them here and here.

Wabash College is in the news…in Tucson, Arizona!  Two Mountain View football players are headed to Wabash College in the fall.
