The Pittsburgh group, a talkative one, kept this one quiet all the way up to the end.<\/p>\n

Walt Henry, maybe one of the most engaged non-alumni in the country, was surprised by the crowd when he was named the Man of the Year by fellow members of the Wabash family in Pittsburgh, PA. \u00a0Walt, son of the legendary Wabash faculty member Robert Henry, grew up at Wabash. \u00a0Never mind that Walt pursued his education elsewhere…Wabash has always remained near and dear to him.<\/p>\n

Alumnus Bob Smith ’66 drew the honors on introducing the Man of the Year and he kept the crowd in suspense until the very last sentence. \u00a0The group’s immediate response was a well deserved standing ovation!<\/p>\n

A surprise? \u00a0You bet! \u00a0Surprising? \u00a0Not in the least. \u00a0Walt and Cindy have long been involved and it was well past time for him to be honored.<\/p>\n

President and Mrs. Gregory Hess visited Pittsburgh in an official capacity – their first trip to the city as the first family of Wabash. \u00a0President Hess provided several updates on the College and answered several questions. \u00a0He outlined portions of the fast paced, forward thinking “West Coast \u00a0offense” he’s quarterbacking at Wabash.<\/p>\n

Many thank To Eriks Janelsin ’02 and Lyndall Huggler ’83 for putting a fun evening together and to Lyndall for serving as the evening’s emcee.<\/p>\n
