1963 David H. Schuur, BS, is retired and lives in Milleasville, Md. He notes that he spends his free time with his two grandchildren or in his woodworking shop. Send him email at dschuur@erols.com Lee Burrill Coats, BFA, recently moved to Maryville, Mo., and is creative director of The Printery House Greeting Card Co. She sent an email after reading an article on Ward Schumaker in the March 2004 Alum. “He and I have stayed in touch with each other for the last 30 years at least. He and his girlfriend (of 1963) and I drove to California in the summer of 1963. He took me to San Francisco to join a mutual friend from Salt Lake City, Utah. Ward and I had worked for the Union Pacific Railroad at Bryce Canyon National Park for a summer. I just finished my BFA from UNO and wanted to go to SF for a master’s at Berkley. That never happened because I returned to the Midwest and UN of Lincoln to pursue my masters after spending 3 months in SF. Ward and I went our separate ways for about 20 years until I spotted his name in a Communication Arts magazine with his illustration. I called him and we have stayed in contact since then. I am so happy for his continuing success and hope it will continue for along time. Looking at the yearbook for UNO for 1963 you will see us on page 77 a very distinguished group of young artists ready to be launched into the world. Peter Hill was our mentor, along with Dr. Blackwell, who really came to my rescue and both were terrific teachers. Thanks for writing the story on Ward and giving

Flashback File The Mystic 13
From the 1924 Gateway annual
“T
he Mystic Thirteen” was the title appended to the young men and women who compose this group of boosters. They were elected at large by the school body, to push the activities of the University. The belief was held that if the thirteen most active members could be selected to cooperate and concentrate on some interest of the school, that certain activity would be carried through successfully. The results have been very gratifying and have shown that systematic promotion was necessary to accomplishment. The “Thirteen” promoted successfully the “Gateway Annual;” the “Weekly Gateway”; the Operetta by the Music Department; “Wedding Bells” by the Player’s Club; special speakers at the Chapel, and other events that needed energetic publicity. The members hold their office for one year. Help us find these “Lost Alums” from the Class of 1952. Send news of their whereabouts to sgerding@mail.unomaha.edu
