used her book, From Page to Stage.

Rosemary and the other costume staff were a delight to work with. I learned how to do a "tailor stitch" on the

bottom of a dress, how to attach clasps, tack fabric, and attuned my hand sewing skills. Rosemary showed me how to distress clothing for the stage.

Alli Engelsma, a WSU theatre major, learned far more than I as part of her internship in the GRSF costume and

Elderhostel is a not-for-profit organization which provides older adults with learning experiences at an affordable cost.

It is America's first travel organization for adults 55 and over. The organization offers more than

10,000 programs a year in approximately 90 countries around the world, and nearly 200,000

older adults take part each year. For example, a person can learn about the ecology of the

Everglades or take a more hands-on approach to learning by conducting wildlife or marine research to protect endangered species.

However, the Elderhostel program started out on a much smaller scale.

The program began in 1975, when two men in New Hampshire decided it was time to offer

RIGHT TRACK Women's Track team makes an historic appearance in the NCAA national

Championship meet

By Andy Davis, WSU '01

Until this past season, the Winona State

University women's track team had not won a meet.

During the 2003-04 indoor

and outdoor seasons the Warriors won seven.

That is just one measure of the recent success of the team.

The Warriors gave the University of Minnesota-Duluth a run for the Northern Sun

Intercollegiate Conference championship in both the indoor and outdoor meets last year, but

fell short in the indoor competition by 10 points and in the outdoor by 12.

Young alumni find adventure and the opportunity to serve in the remote and beautiful

Yukon region of Alaska

(Editor's note: Joseph Cynor,

aWSU alumnus who taught in Alaska's Yukon

Delta, a very remote region of that

expansive state, wrote a biography to share with his students. That biography, coupled with Joseph's commitment to WSU and connections with other WSU alumni in Alaska provided the starting point for this

in Alaska.)

WSU ALASKAN ALUMNI In addition to those mentioned in the adjoining article, several other WSU alumni living in the 49th state replied to a request to let Winona State and their classmates knowa little about themselves. Below are the highlights of the responses: Al Svenningson, '58 (Fairbanks, AK) has lived in Alaska since August 1967. For 18 years, he was head basketball coach at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Since retirement, he has coached professional teams in Sweden, Denmark and Germany and has run basketball camps and clinics in many European countries as well as the Central African Republic and Australia. Al and his wife, Sandy, continue to do a fair amount of international and domestic travel including summers at their river cabin near Delta Junction. They have two adult children: Tori and Brad. Tori lives in Fairbanks and works at the university in the public relations department. Brad is a grad student at a university in Paris, France.

Jeanne Tridle, ‘62 (Show Low, Az.) and her husband, Joe (WSU, '63) grew up in Minnesota and met while studying at WSU. Both were teachers in the Anchorage School District and lived in Alaska for more than 30 years; on the Kenai Peninsula, in Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley. Joe retired in 1985 from his position as a principal in the Matanuska-Susitna School District in Palmer, Alaska.

Jeanne retired in 1989 after 30 years of teaching, and the couple began to spend winters in Arizona and summers on the Kenai River in Alaska fishing for salmon, halibut and rainbow trout. Jeanne says, “We'd bring the fish back to Arizona and treat our Arizona neighbors to Alaskan fish.” In 2003, the Tridles decided to put a price on the Alaska house and wait for a buyer. A buyer came perhaps too quickly, and Jeanne and Joe hurriedly moved out and began the search for the perfect home in Arizona's White Mountains. "We found just the right house in October," Jeanne said. "Unfortunately, Joe died on April 9, 2004, at the age of 65." Even though Jeanne feels like Alaska is still her home, she is beginning to appreciate the town of Show Low, Arizona. She volunteers at the local library and stays busy with her stained glass and basket-making skills. Jeanne and Joe had one daughter, Gwen.

Annette (Price) Kittleson, '64 (Anchorage, AK), and her husband, Mike, both graduated from WSU in 1964 with bachelor's degrees in elementary education. They married, and moved to Nome, Alaska, for their first teaching positions. After two years of culture shock, challenges and adventure, they missed city life and chose to move to Anchorage where Annette taught first grade for four more years. Mike taught sixth grade before earning a masters degree at the University of Alaska Anchorage and then taught junior high social studies. Mike passed away in 2002 at age 63 after fighting leukemia. Annette still lives in their log home, and is a receptionist at Providence Hospital.

Mike and Annette had two children: Nicholas, 33, an attorney, and Emily, 31, a chemical process engineer, both living in Anchorage.

Pam McCarl, '67 (Anchorage, AK) spent her entire 28 years in education in two districts: State Operated Schools, and Anchorage School District. Pam taught self-contained 5th and 6th grades for 10 years, then joined the PACT program to teach gifted students grades K-6. She was president of the Anchorage Education Association for two years. She concluded the last six years of her teaching career in junior high and middle school teaching social studies. Pam and her husband are now retired and enjoy traveling, birding, and fishing.

Linda (Hollon) Duran, '70 (Palmer, AK) graduated from WSU with a degree in Art (Teaching). She has lived in Alaska since 1990 and has raised two daughters. Linda, who is native American (ChoctawApache), has created a series of fine art dolls called First Nations Portrait Dolls which depict native life in North America prior to contact with European cultures. Each doll is about 12 inches tall and begins with hand-sculpted clay. Her creations are dressed in wools, leathers and sinews and adorned with whalebone, halibut bone, slate and driftwood. She researches the tribe being portrayed and paints the character, strengths and humanity in the faces. She just completed an artist-in-residency where she taught native doll making in the Pribilof Islands.

Janet (Willroth) Strom, '73 (Wrangell, AK) graduated from WSU with a nursing degree. In 1983, she and her husband, Dennis, moved to Bethel, Alaska, where she worked as a school nurse and then a public health nurse. Dennis was the assistant manager of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge until the Fall of 1998. The couple's three daughters graduated from Bethel High School. Their oldest daughter is now a teacher in the village of Tuntutuliak, about 80 miles down the Kuskokwim River from Bethel. Their second daughter is a physician assistant in Bethel at the YK Delta Hospital.

Their youngest daughter lives in Wrangell and is the mother of Janet and Dennis’ two grandkids. Janet said they now live on an island and it is beautiful with the snow covered mountains and the ocean all around.

Richard P. Emanuel, '74 (Anchorage, AK) graduated from WSU with a BA in geology and then attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, earning two masters degrees in geology and water resources management. Richard moved to Alaska in 1978 and took a job with the US Geological Survey. His wife, Julie Dumoulin, is a USGS geologist. Richard is now a freelance writer, specializing in science. He maintains close ties with WSU, noting that his father, Joseph Emanuel, is a retired biology professor, and his older brother, Doug Emanuel, oversees laboratories and supplies for the WSU Chemistry Department. Richard and his wife have one daughter, Nicole, age 10.

Patty L. Olson, '74 (Douglas, AK) moved to Juneau, Alaska's capital, in January of 1975, six months after graduating from WSU with a BS in art teaching.

Almost immediately, she accepted a job with the State of Alaska and has been a public employee since then. Patty is a senior budget analyst with the Alaska Department of Transportation. She says, "Given that | live in one of the most beautiful cities in America, | spend a lot of time hiking, fishing and camping. | also travel extensively and have seen much of the State."

WSU Foundation

The WSU Foundation continues to gather and provide resources for students in the form of

generosity of the donors, this event would not be possible, nor would several hundred students be able to pursue their dream of a high quality

1858 Founders Society

President’s Club

The WSU Foundation Board of Trustees has established the 1858 Founders Society to recognize those individuals who have made a provision for Winona State through The WSU Foundation in the form of a deferred gift—a will, life insurance or a life income agreement.

The Society exemplifies the importance of will provisions and other deferred gifts to the University and expresses the Foundation’s grateful appreciation to individuals who make a future gift in support of the University’s mission.

If you have madea provision for the Foundation but you have not yet notified the Development Office, call Wayne Wicka, director of Major Gifts and Planned Giving, 507-457-2772. All information will be kept in strict confidence.

The following persons have made future provisions for the Winona State University Foundation through their will, life insurance or life income agreement. The University is grateful to them for their thoughtful forward planning and for letting us publicly acknowledge their generous commitment.

The Winona State University Foundation established the President's Club in 2003 to recognize those individuals who have donated an annual gift of $1,000 or more,

I tutor middle school students at a local

junior high, and this fall I will be tutoring incoming freshmen at Winona State University. I also spend my springs coaching track for one of the local schools in Winona as well. Likewise, when Iam back home, I also enjoy talking to high school students in the area about the importance of pursuing higher education. On campus I have also chosen to be very involved. I am the vice president of chapter operations for the professional business fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi, an active member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honors Society.

Thankfully, receiving a substantial scholarship such as the one granted to me by Federated Insurance creates an atmosphere that enables me to continue to fully concentrate my efforts on scholastic achievement and community involvement. By lifting the burden offinancial payments, Federated Insurance has afforded me the ability to pursue scholastic challenges, as well as be a participant in many community events and programs. Overall, this scholarship means I have the ability to take on endeavors to not only advance myself, but to help advance many young minds in the community. Most of these children are simply in need ofa little support and guidance from a mentor and friend, and I have come to find it is an immeasurable honor to become that person.

My future goals are to continue to help the youth ofAmerica understand how valuable and important an education is, and where it can ultimately take them. Also, I hope to pursue a graduate degree in business to further my

background and future opportunities. By attaining a high level of educational achievement, it is one of my greatest dreams to one day be the leader of a highly respected corporation or business while maintaining an active role in shaping and guiding young minds. own educational

extremely hard to balance a scholastic, social, and community involved life. I currently maintain a 4.0 GPA, and am extremely involved in the community.

When I am not havingfun with all the great friends I've made, I am out in the community working to make a difference.

The scholarships I have been fortunate to obtain have definitely helped me

financially, allowing me to withstand the costs of books, tuition, supplies and everyday expenses. However, they have also been a source of motivation and confidence.

Knowing that several successful and intelligent men and women have chosen me out of group of my peers inspires me to continue to strive for excellence. I truly believe that motivation and confidence are the most valuable ewan one can receive from a scholarship. Myself and dozens of other scholarship winners at WSU are very lucky to be helped financially as well as encouraged to study hard and commit to success. i

Warrior Club News The Winona State University Warrior Club would invite you to consider membership in the official “booster” organization for Warrior athletics. Your monetary contribution of any amount qualifies you for membership, and puts you on the list offriends and fans in supporting the continued success of our Warrior student athletes.

The Warrior Club is an incorporated, not-for-profit organization that

provides scholarship support for WSU athletics. The Club is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, with active participation from University administration, coaches and the athletic department staff. The Club’s mission is to promote and advance WSU’s intercollegiate athletic program.

Annual Warrior Club activities include the Warrior Club Golf Classic, held recently at Cedar Valley Golf Club and the 12th Annual Warrior Club Sports Auction being held this year on Saturday, September 25, at the Hiawatha Room of the St. Theresa College campus. The Warrior Club is also currently conducting a raffle for an all-expenses paid trip for two to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl next February. WSU’s McCown Gymnasium is also the venue for possibly the Midwest’s largest holiday basketball tournament. Thirty-two high school boy’s and girl’s basketball teams compete for a title in the Ace Communications/Midwest Wireless Warrior Club Holiday Classic held annually between Christmas and New Year's.

In recent years the Club has been able to make annual commitments of more than $90,000 for athletic scholarships. While revenue generation has increased significantly over the last five years, Winona State University still falls far short of the maximum number of scholarships allowed for each sport by the Northern Sun Conference and the NCAA for Division II schools. The bottom line is that the quality coaches we have at Winona State University are extremely efficient in their search for outstanding student-athletes.

Most of the Club's membership support comes with our annual Scholarship Drive each spring. However, you can join any time. Please consider making a pledge of support and join today or when contacted by one of our volunteers this spring. Ifyou have any questions about the Warrior Club, you may contact the office of University Advancement (507) 457-5020 or the athletic department directly at (507) 457-5210.

Thank you for your consideration and support of this fine institution!
