Gifts made July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015
Monica Newman, a Western Emeritus Professor of
Accounting, former Chair of the Department of Business,
Accounting and Economics and, with her husband, Scott,
a generous supporter of the Western State Foundation,
passed away at her home in Gunnison on June 11,
2015. She was surrounded by people she loved and who
loved her.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Monica earned
her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (with a minor in
Accounting) from Western Washington University. She
then spent five years working as a Legislative Assistant
for a Michigan State Senator. After earning a Master’s
in Taxation degree from Baylor University, she worked
in public accounting for two years and became licensed
as a CPA in Texas. After getting an opportunity to teach
at Baylor University, she earned her Ph.D. in Accounting
from the University of Texas in 1988. She taught at Lewis
and Clark College in Portland, Oregon before coming to
Western in 1990.
Monica volunteered in the Gunnison community, most
notably helping acquire the funding for the Tenderfoot
Child and Family Development Center. However, Monica’s
greatest impact was as a professor and academic leader
at Western. During her 25 years as a faculty member,
Monica advised hundreds of Business and Accounting
majors and oversaw the graduation of more than 400
Accounting majors. Her advising skills were legendary,
often emulated by other faculty, and student appreciation
of her time and commitment to their personal, professional
and career growth was enormous. She made a difference
in the lives of Western students.
Monica’s leadership was a vital force to Western including
her 12 years as Chair of the Department of Business,
Accounting and Economics. Her tenure was marked
by the fundraising and building of the Borick Business
Building.
Monica’s favorite pastimes included doing anything
Disney and being with Scott, her husband of 25 years,
and their daughter, Katharine (Kat). One of the most
special moments in Monica’s life was watching Kat
graduate magna cum laude from Mount Holyoke College
this past spring, and it was with great joy that Monica
welcomed her future son-in-law, Michael Hanger, into all
of their lives.
OUR MISSION: To provide financial leadership and support of the Western State Colorado
University vision while offering an ever-improving and remarkable learning environment.
Monica’s integrity, expertise and professional
perspectives were much sought after by students and
colleagues; however, it was her love, friendship and
humor that will leave the largest hole in the community
and her family.
- From the Gunnison Country Times
We dedicate this publication
in memory of Monica Newman,
professor, friend and supporter
of Western State Foundation.
Last year, the Scott and Monica Newman Accounting Scholarship
was established in honor of Monica and Scott, also an Emeritus
Professor of Accounting, to provide scholarship assistance to
Western students majoring in Accounting. Western alumni and
friends, led by Boyd (’95) and Sharalee (’96) Pederson, created this
fund to express their appreciation to Scott and Monica for their
devotion and mentorship to the Accounting students at Western.
In 2013, Clare Hutton Kelly Zecher (’96) and Philip David Zecher
established the Monica D. Newman Accounting Fund to provide
unrestricted support to the Accounting Program in honor of Monica.
For more information about these funds, please contact Deborah
Hoskins at the Western State Foundation, [email protected].

FOUNDATION PRESIDENT GERRY SHEAR
MONICA
WESTERN
NEWMAN.
PRESIDENT
1953-2015.
GREG SALSBURY
Dear Western Alumni and Friends,
Fellow Mountaineers,
I am honored to write my first letter to you as
President of the Western State Foundation.
It has been a transformational year for Western,
one punctuated by enrollment growth, an
enhanced focus on advancing the University
thanks to our partnership with the Western State
Foundation, and the addition of new programs and
facilities. This fall, as students returned to classes
in Gunnison, Western was one of only two, four-year
public colleges in Colorado to grow in both overall
enrollment and the number of full time equivalent
students. I believe that much of the forward
momentum we’ve achieved has been thanks to
the accelerated marketing and recruiting efforts
made possible by the support of the Western State
Foundation.
First I want to say:
THANK YOU!
We are so grateful to you and all of our donors
who continue to make Western a remarkable
place. This year the theme of the Report of
Appreciation is “Difference Makers,” and you
will see in the following pages stories of just a
few of these people who represent so many
others who have given so generously.
When you reminisce of your days at Western
with others, you are making a difference.
When you tell potential students about the
outstanding University you know Western
truly is, you are making a difference. When
you make a gift to Western, you are making
a difference. I say this to you because my
personal experiences in giving to Western
have been incredibly fulfilling and make a
difference!
In a very real and tangible way, each of our
donors listed here in the Honor Roll of Donors
is responsible for all of our successes at
Western. In this report we speak of your many
kindnesses and thank you for remembering
our great University.
You make it all happen for Western’s students. You are a Difference Maker. I appreciate everything you do and I know everyone
at Western shares my gratitude. Thank you for continuing to Western Up!
Best regards,
Gerry A. Shear (’92)
President, Western State Foundation
Our market research showed clearly that one of
largest reasons for Western’s stagnant enrollment
has been simple lack of recognition within the
target markets. Thanks to our partnership with
the Western State Foundation, the University has
secured the necessary funding to greatly increase
and improve our marketing efforts – through radio
and billboard advertising, recruiting events large
and small, improved and expanded collateral for
the schools, an updated welcome center, and new
web presence.
Western also added a number of new academic
programs in 2015, all of which have helped to
improve Western’s competitive advantage. These
included a new School of Business along with a new
Dean. This will enhance what has traditionally been
Western’s most popular major by enhancing career opportunities for graduates. The School of Business has added an Office of Career
Success, designed to help Business students find appropriate internships, polish their resumes, and hopefully land better employment
upon graduation. Our new High Altitude Exercise Physiology program is a two-year residential graduate program leveraging Western’s
high elevation and builds on undergraduate research that has been conducted for years. Our Master in Environmental Management
launched in August, 2014, produced a much larger than expected first class. Lastly, our Master of Arts in Gallery Management prepares
students for a career in managing, collecting and selling art, as well as designing, installing and curating exhibits.
As Western charges forward, the world is noticing. Colleges of Distinction featured Western as one of only five colleges in Colorado
to receive the honor. EnvironmentalScience.org ranked Western as the #5 best college in the United States to study Environmental
Science. Best Value Schools included Western as one of the Top 100 Most Affordable Small Colleges in America.
This year, as crews are hard at work adding $25 million in upgrades to Quigley Hall, you can feel the momentum on campus. The
Western Nation is rising and with your continued support and encouragement, the future is bright. We thank you for all of your support.
Sincerely,
Greg Salsbury
President, Western State Colorado University

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TOM BURGGRAF
My Friend,
If you only knew how much good you’ve
accomplished; how many winding roads
you’ve made straight; how much fear you’ve
turned into confidence; how many books
you’ve bought; classes you’ve paid for; trips
you’ve funded; scholarships you’ve provided.
If you could only see the dreams you’ve
launched; the hopes you’ve kindled; the
futures you’ve secured; the burdens you’ve
lifted; the faces you’ve brightened; the eyes
you’ve opened; the minds you’ve set free.
If you could only hear the celebrations you’ve
birthed; the shouts of victory you’ve evoked;
the mighty choruses you have aroused; the
sighs of deep, appreciative relief you’ve
brought.
If you could only sense the potential you’ve
built; the doubt you’ve turned into faith; the
questions you have turned into quests; the
students who now possess an unstoppable,
unquenchable sense of mission on their lives.
Do you ever wonder if one of the students
you’ve helped will find the cure for cancer?
Or teach the next president? Or wear the gold
medal as our national anthem plays? Or do
equally applause-worthy things like lead a
community; be that coach who turns young
players’ lives around; help build the bridge
between energy and environment; raise a strong healthy family, when they had no point of reference for that; move hearts with
their songs, notes or film; paint a picture that reveals to us who we are and what we can become; change the world?
I hope you do. I hope you know, see, hear, sense and wonder all of that. Because it’s all true. And in the crowded busyness
and pace of your days, it can be so easy to forget that you have added light to the world, blessing to young lives, and hope to
students with world-changing potential. Because you gave to Western. That’s what happens when you give. And I wanted to
make sure you knew it. And that you never forget how much you are treasured, appreciated and loved.
Western and its people are thriving, because of you. May the awareness of the good you’ve done and the difference you’ve
made, fill your mind with joy and your heart with peace. Thank you.
Warm and grateful regards,
Thomas F. Burggraf, Jr.
Executive Director, Western State Foundation
(& Chief Appreciator)
THE PRESIDENT’S CLUB
The President’s Club is a giving level of those difference makers who make gifts of $1,000 or more to the Western Fund
(Unrestricted Fund) or to an academic fund (excludes the Mountaineer Athletic Association). Although the President’s Club
promotes unrestricted giving, donors are recognized for directed gifts as well.
Unrestricted giving is important to Western. Gifts that are unrestricted make it possible for us to preserve the very best
traditions of Western while enhancing programs, adding new technology and strengthen our services to faculty and students,
so they have the very best environment in which to teach and learn.
First-time donors to the President’s Club will receive a 9” sculpture of a rock actually from “W” mountain. The “W” holds a
special place in the heart of all members of the Western Nation, and now all members of the President’s Club can have their
very own piece of the “W” to honor the important role in making a difference in the lives of students.
President’s Club members are the backbone of the Western Nation. It is because of you and other members that Western is
able to continue providing opportunities for the future difference makers the world so desperately needs. For more information
regarding this giving level, please contact the Western State Foundation.
DON & JAN GERARDI
CLASS OF 1963 & 1965
“We give to Western primarily because we have always thought that our
success in our working lives is due to the educational foundation we received
while earning our degrees. We met at Western during our years there and
celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary last June. Needless to say, Western
will always be a place that has much meaning to both of us.”
TERRY MORROW
OWNER, HIGH MOUNTAIN LIQUOR
AND SQUEEKY KLEAN AUTO WASH
“Always happy to support Western when I can... I believe the University is the
heart of Gunnison and I wouldn’t want to be here without it.”
ZACHARY CORDEL
CLASS OF 2007
“I was challenged by my experience at Western, notably the quality
of the faculty coupled with the unique setting, and intend to pass
along this opportunity to others.”

ANN HUNT HIERONYMUS
MONICA
JOHN NEWMAN.
AND MARGIE
HALEY
1953-2015.
Years ago, Ann Hunt Hieronymus (’50) told the
Western State Foundation staff that she wanted to
do something special for Western upon her death.
She did indeed do something special. Ann made an
estate gift of $369,000 to Western. The Bookstore
in the University Center is named in her honor, so
the celebration of her gift can continue making a
difference for many generations of future Western
students.
Ann sadly passed away on April 27th, 2013, in
Colorado Springs, Colorado. She was 87.
“Ann was such a special person, and a dear friend
of Western. I smile gratefully as I think about her
each time I go into the Bookstore that bears her
name,” said Tom Burggraf, Executive Director of
the Western State Foundation.
Ann graduated from the Colorado Springs High School in 1946, attended Colorado College and went on to receive
her Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Western in 1950. After teaching 2nd grade for several years, Ann met
Edward H. Hieronymus and they married on August 28, 1953.
Ann worked alongside her husband for the two businesses they co-owed: “Music and TV Center” and “StyroMolders.” After Ed passed away in 1992, Ann began working at the Colorado College Alumni “Tut” House in 1993.
Ann is survived by her two sons, Walt, of Colorado Springs, and Edward “Whit” of Los Angeles, California.
WHEN YOU GIVE TO THE UNIVERSITY CENTER!
Western’s University Center is a Colorado Enterprise Zone! All donors who make a gift of $50.00 or more to the University Center, who also
pay Colorado State Income Tax (regardless of tax bracket), qualify for a 25% tax credit for the amount of their cash gifts from the State,
up to $100,000 credit per year (for a $400,000 gift) with a 5-year carry-over if they cannot use the entire credit in a single year. In-kind
contributions are eligible for a 12½ percent credit.
Combined with the State and Federal Income Tax deductions, that means that Colorado tax-payers may make gifts to the University Center
at a significant discount! This is a powerful way to steer your State tax dollars exactly where you want them to go! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3:

John and Margie donated $100,000 to Western’s Master in Environmental Management (MEM)
program, a new graduate program that began in 2014.
John, who is an Ophthalmologist, and Margie, a philanthropist and activist, directed half of their
gift to support the Master projects for the 35 students per year completing the MEM program.
This has already included efficient stoves in Kenya, a sustainable transportation plan for Salida,
programs for minorities in National Parks, and sage grouse research.
GET A TAX CREDIT
Donors make a contribution online
at www.westernup.org, or by check,
$50 minimum amount to $400,000
maximum amount, to the Western
State Foundation for the University
Center, indicating “Enterprise Zone”
on the memo line of the check.
John and Margie Haley, who reside in Dallas, Texas, did not attend Western. Yet like so many
alumni and other Western friends, the Haleys believe in Western’s vision, and wanted to make a
difference for Western students and help make the University even more remarkable.
Within 60 days, Western
State Foundation sends
the donor the appropriate
paperwork for their State
tax credit (as well as
State and Federal tax
deductions).
Please note: ALL donations submitted to the Enterprise Zone for tax credit must now include a tax ID or social security number, per new
Colorado State requirements. If a number is not included with your gift, you will be contacted by the Foundation Office for your information,
should you choose to receive the Colorado tax credit.
To contact the Western State Foundation: Post Office Box 1264, Gunnison, CO 81230, (970) 641-2237, [email protected].
The other half of John and Margie’s gift was directed to invest in our international education
efforts, in partnership with Finca Bella Vista in Costa Rica. This portion of their generous donation
moved the effort to the first 10% to build an experiential environmental education center at
Finca Bella Vista, matching Finca’s previous generous gift of a $200,000 land donation.
“The Center for Environment & Sustainability seeks generous partners like the Haleys, whose
opening gift challenges us to match their investment in globalizing Western’s unique, experiential,
place-based education,” said John C. Hausdoerffer, Professor and Director of the Master of
Environmental Management Program; Professor of Environmental Sustainability & Philosophy;
Director, Headwaters Project.
Ralph “Butch” Clark III (’73), who donated
$100,000 last year to provide support to the MEM
Program, gave an additional $50,000 to create a
new faculty position.
Luke Danielson is now serving as the Clark
Sustainable Development Chair and member of
the MEM Graduate Faculty. Luke is splitting his
time between teaching duties at Western and
directing the new Coldharbour Sustainable Living
Center, about eight miles east of Gunnison.
John and Margie
donated $100,000
to Western’s Master
in Environmental
Management (MEM)
program, a new
graduate program
that began in 2014.
The property, at the intersection of U.S. Highway
50 and Colorado Highway 114, was also donated
by Ralph and his wife, Judy Clark, who have long
supported sustainable solutions for the Gunnison
area.
The Gunnison Housing Foundation is contributing
$150,000 to help fund the position with
Coldharbour.

STEVE BORICK MAKES A DIFFERENCE
FOR SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Steven Borick (’75) made a gift of $100,000
through the The Louis L. Borick Foundation to the
School of Business to create and privately fund
the new position of Director of Career Services.
This new position will coach students in preparing
for internships and interviews, bring employers to
campus, and create opportunities for students
to take their first success steps toward their postWestern careers.
On July 1, 2015, Chelsea Dalporto McDowell
joined Western State Colorado University as the
inaugural Director of Career Success in the School
of Business. Peter Sherman, Dean of the School
of Business stated that “Chelsea has already had
a significant impact on campus. We are providing
career opportunities for our students that were out
of reach a year ago. Her efforts significantly increase
the return on investment for students at Western.”
In this role, Chelsea is charged with increasing
placement rates and starting salaries for business
students. To accomplish these goals, Chelsea
works with students to ensure they are prepared,
but also reaches out to top companies to have them
recruit on the Western Campus. In the fall of 2015,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Cisco Systems, Wells
Fargo, Target and Crested Butte Mountain Resort
all recruited students from Western. The School
of Business hopes to place three students with
internships at Dell Corporation this summer.
Chelsea’s enthusiasm for the position has been
infectious. “I am excited to be joining the Western
community in the School of Business as the new
Director of Career Success! As I work to develop the Office of Career Success, it is my goal to provide professional development training
to students preparing to enter the world of work. An integral component to my position is to ensure that students in the School of
Business graduate with the professional skills and experience necessary to be competitive and competent applicants in the job market.
“I work one on one with students during internship and employment exploration by helping them to identify opportunities that will
propel them toward reaching their professional goals. To ensure that students are building strong portfolios, I perform professional
development counseling and train them on interviewing skills, resume and cover letter creation, and job placement techniques. I also
work in collaboration with industry professionals during recruitment initiatives. Whether it is through our alumni networks or industry
outreach I will strive to identify motivated students who will serve as excellent additions to organizations.
“I look forward to working with students, alumni, faculty, and staff as the Office of Career Success establishes opportunities that
increase our students’ success while here on the campus of Western and beyond!”
The success that has been achieved would not be possible without the generous contributions of the Borick family.
BEVERLY (YOUNG) PIERCE
1926 – 2015
Beverly Pierce died on June 26, 2015, in Farmington,
New Mexico, secure in the love of her family and friends.
She was 88.
Beverly made leadership gifts to the Western State
Foundation totaling $165,000 over the past few years
to various funds, including the University Center,
Mountain Sports and the Western Fund (Unrestricted
Fund).
Beverly’s son, David, and his wife, Maxine, also make
generous gifts to Western. Maxine, a 1974 Western
graduate, is currently serving as Secretary for the
Western State Foundation Board of Directors.
Beverly earned her Bachelor’s degree at the University
of Chicago at the age of 19, a startling achievement
now and rather more so at the time. Soon after she met
Martin Pierce, they married and moved to Aztec, New
Mexico, to work at the Citizens Bank, owned by Martin’s
father.
Martin and Beverly took up the cause of Wasatch
Academy in the early seventies. The school was
experiencing a difficult transition, and the couple
brought expertise, energy and financial support to
the school. Wasatch Academy is now an elite college
preparatory institution.
In 1982, Beverly became a member of Al-Anon, a
program for people who love, as she did, alcoholics. She
brought her usual energy to the program and was able
to help others better understand their loved ones and
their own challenges. She will be fondly remembered by
several generations of Al-Anons.
Beverly traveled with Martin extensively. She also
enjoyed volunteering her time to read to young children
at various elementary schools.
Beverly was a loving wife and mother, an adoring
grandmother, a confidant for the troubled, a
philanthropist, a strong advocate for education and a
friend to children everywhere.
She was preceded in death by her husband, best
friend and partner in all things, Martin, after a 65-year
marriage. Beverly leaves behind her children: David
and his wife, Maxine; John and his wife, Clare; Susan
Nelson and her husband, Steve; and her grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. Family and friends are grateful
for the time they had with Beverly.

WESTERN STATE FOUNDATION
DRIVES BUS HOME
After a successful fundraising campaign by the Western State
Foundation and the giant generosity of many donors, Western
student-athletes will be much safer traveling from campus!
Part one of the “Safe Travels” campaign came to fruition in
August, 2015, when a brand new 34-passenger bus arrived
on campus. The second part of the “Safe Travels” campaign
is currently underway as more funds are being raised to
purchase a second bus.
This bus would only be a dream had it not been for the
generosity of the Western State Foundation Board President
Gerry Shear (’92). Gerry personally committed $75,000
to turn this into a reality, and his lead gift was followed by
other donations from Foundation Board members, including
Maxine Pierce (’74), Donna Faulkner (’68) and Terry Brace
(’74;‘78). Other Western alumni and parents also got behind
the campaign and made generous gifts as well.
The new Mountaineer bus comes with state-of-the-art
technology to ensure safety and comfort for Western studentathletes traveling to compete on other campuses. With OnSpot
Automatic Tire Chains, Telma Electromagnetic Drivetrain
Retarder to guarantee frictionless and instantaneous full
breaking power, the strongest floor in the industry, a full
perimeter steel frame and a three-point safety belt system,
this bus will help relieve some of the stress of traveling over
mountain passes late at night.
The bus also relieves stress for student-athletes that are
preparing for a competition or coming back to campus for
classes. With 34 seats, entire teams will be able to travel
together, rather than be split into different vans. The bus also
features rear floor heaters, reading lights, overhead luggage
racks, high back reclining seats, and side slider seats for more
room. These features will keep student-athletes comfortable
and well-rested so they can compete at a higher level. A 32”
flat screen TV and Wi-Fi on-board will give Western studentathletes and coaches a competitive edge as they will be able
to watch opponents’ films while traveling. Wi-Fi also allows
extra time for student-athletes to complete assignments and
study while on the road.
While phase one of the “Safe Travels” campaign is underway,
Western still needs your help in completing phase two.
“We are so grateful for these generous friends. You can see
the difference they have made. As we moved forward in
seeking the funding to purchase the bus, we quickly realized
that Western is a two bus family,” Western State Foundation
Executive Director Tom Burggraf explained. “Our various
athletic teams are most often heading in different directions
at the same time. In order to keep them all as safe as possible,
we will need two buses, not one.”
While phase one of the “Safe
Travels” campaign is underway,
Western still needs your help in
completing phase two.
To help secure Western a second bus, please visit
www.WesternUp.org to give by credit card. Checks can also be
made out to Western State Foundation with “Bus Fund” on the
memo line and sent to Western State Foundation, Attention
Bus Fund, Post Office Box 1264, Gunnison, CO 81230.

MOUNTAINEER
ATHLETICS
The Mountaineer Athletic Association (MAA) is the official booster club of
Western State Colorado University Athletics. Western and your Mountaineers
would not be one of the most successful programs in NCAA Division II without
the support of the MAA, and fans can directly benefit the Mountaineers this
season. Almost all the funds collected go to the scholarship needs of the most
successful student-athletes in the nation.
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
Western State Colorado University student-athletes completed another successful year in
the classroom by capturing numerous individual and team academic awards and recording a
department-wide GPA of 3.06 for the 2014-15 academic year.
Being recognized for their academic achievements on the national stage in 2014-15 were Luke
Arnold (Track & Field), Corbin Bennetts (Wrestling), Austin Ekeler (Football), and Ryan Haebe
(Cross Country, Track & Field), who all earned Capital One Academic All-America honors. Arnold,
Bennetts and Haebe were first team selections while Ekeler was named to the second team.
In July, the Mountaineer Football and Swimming & Diving programs were honored with the 201415 Brechler Award for having the highest team GPAs in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference
(RMAC) in their respective sport. Western Football posted a 2.96 GPA for the academic year
while the Swimming & Diving team finished with a 3.56 GPA, the second-highest among all
Mountaineer programs this season. The Swimming & Diving Team also claimed College Swimming
Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America Team honors in February.
The Women’s Cross Country Team recorded the highest GPA among all Western teams with a 3.6.
The squad was named a U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA)
All-Academic Team in 2014, and tied a nation-best seven USTFCCCA All-Academic individual
selections. The Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Teams also garnered USTFCCCA AllAcademic honors with GPAs of 3.17 and 3.16, respectively.
The Men’s Cross Country Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Teams were also named USTFCCCA
All-Academic teams in 2014-15. The Cross Country Team posted a 2.95 GPA while the indoor
team finished with a 2.8 GPA and the outdoor squad recorded a 2.83.
The Women’s Soccer (3.28) and Volleyball (3.16) teams also recorded GPAs of 3.0 and higher
for the 2014-15 year.
Another successful year in the
classroom! Department-wide
GPA of 3.06 for the 2014-15
academic year.
“Mountaineer Athletes have been able to not only succeed in competition, but
in academics as well. Achievement in both areas is no accident; it comes from
the encouragement and financial support of MAA members,” Western Wrestler
Corbin Bennetts said. “This unprecedented support not only inspires my fellow
athletes and me, but also enables us to focus on our sport and education
rather than how we will be able to afford it. The MAA is a catalyst for the
Mountaineer experience.”
The MAA operates under the umbrella of the Western State Colorado University
Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, meaning that your donations
are fully tax-deductible. The MAA is in its 52nd year as Western’s Athletics
booster club. Originally known as the Century Club, the name was changed to
the Mountaineer Century Club in 1988 and became the Mountaineer Athletic
Association in 1995.
The MAA offers individuals and businesses a chance to contribute. As an MAA
Corporate Partner, your organization can choose among four primary options,
ranging from $1,000 to $15,000. The primary use of this money is to go toward
scholarships for student-athletes.

Along with the exposure of becoming a Corporate Partner, other opportunities
for further promotion will be available exclusively to MAA Corporate Partners at
specific levels. For more information on becoming an MAA Corporate Partner,
please contact the Mountaineer Athletics Department at 970-943-2079.
In addition to their eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships in 2015, the Mountaineer
Wrestling Team showed success off the mat with a 2.96 GPA. The Mountaineers earned the sixthhighest GPA (3.309) in Division II, as calculated by the National Wrestling Coaches Association
(NWCA), by averaging the cumulative GPAs of 10 Wrestlers of which eight must have competed
in their team’s NCAA Division II national qualifying tournament.
The Men’s Basketball Team improved their team GPA from the fall semester, finishing with a
2.86 GPA on the year, while the Women’s Basketball Team recorded a 2.74.
RMAC CHAMPIONS
For the first time since 1996, the Western State Colorado University Men’s Track and Field
Team swept both the indoor and outdoor conference titles.
Hosting their first Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Indoor Track and Field
Championships in program history, the Western Men’s Track and Field Team captured the
RMAC title at the two-day event in the Mountaineer Field House.
At the outdoor conference championships, the Mountaineers entered in second place, 9.5
points behind Colorado School of Mines. Western received contributions across the board
in the final day of competition to claim the championship. In the process, the Mountaineers
took down three top-25 programs in Number 6 Adams State, Number 12 Colorado Mines and
Number 24 CSU-Pueblo for their first outdoor title since 1999.
Also earning RMAC Indoor Men’s Coach of the Year and RMAC Outdoor Coach of the Year honors
was Western’s Chris Bradford.

a meeting room in Western’s University Center was named
after him and Lois by their Gunnison friends wanting to
express their appreciation for all that the Roberts have
done for the Gunnison community.

GEORGIE DOROTHY KINCAID
1922 – 2015
Jack A. MacAllister, a long-time supporter and friend
of Western, passed away February 14, 2015 after a
lengthy battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Georgie D. Kincaid, wife of John Kincaid, Emeritus
Professor of Music at Western for many years, passed
away peacefully at home on March 16, 2015. She was 93.
Jack and his wife of nearly 65 years, Marilyn, through
the MacAllister Foundation, generously established the
Presidential Honors Scholarships, assisting Western’s
high caliber students.
Georgie graduated from Littleton High School, attended
Barnes Business School and enrolled at Western, where
she met her future husband, John Kincaid. They graduated
together in 1947, and married on June 7, 1947, enjoying
67 anniversaries together.
After a short stint in the Navy as WWII ended, Jack
enrolled at the University of Iowa, pursuing a Business
degree. It was there that Jack met the love of his
life, Marilyn Anderson. They married right after they
graduated in 1950.
Jack was promptly recruited by the telephone company,
known as “Ma Bell” at the time, as a telephone installer.
Before he started the job they honeymooned in Colorado,
returning home with about $5 between them. He and
Marilyn rented a basement apartment, began their life
together, and raised three children, Steve, Jim and Sue.
Jack moved upward through the ranks of the telephone
company, moving every two years or so. The final tally
was 19 moves in five states. He liked to say he had pretty
much performed every job there was to do and knew
the company inside and out. Jack was a much beloved
and legendary figure within the company. After serving
as President of Northwestern Bell in Omaha, Nebraska,
his career culminated in 1982 with his appointment as
the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of US West,
which was then one of the “Baby Bells,” the offspring of
the government mandated divestiture of AT&T. He held
that position until his retirement in December of 1990.
As we were going to press of this publication, we
learned the sad news that Sue MacAllister, Jack and
Marilyn’s daughter, passed away on November 2, 2015.
The Foundation staff sends heartfelt condolences to the
MacAllister family and friends during this difficult time.
Although his accomplishments are too numerous to
recount, Jack built US West into a Fortune 500 company.
He chaired the work-based learning advisory commission
of the Department of Labor, was a board member of the
National Parks Foundation and numerous other boards,
both corporate and non-profits. One accomplishment
he was most proud of was establishing the US West
Foundation, dedicated to funding philanthropic
community efforts in the 14 state US West region.
In addition to their generous support of Western,
Jack and Marilyn were instrumental in establishing
a computer lab at Gunnison High School, the Dance
Studio at the Gunnison Arts Center, Paradise Place preschool in Crested Butte and Gunnison County’s first
county wide animal shelter.

members of the band and orchestra while undergraduates.
John was a Music major, and after many years of graduate
school and experience in the teaching field he returned to
Western as a member of the Music faculty. John retired in

John and Georgie have been adamant supporters of
Western’s Department of Music. They established the
John and Georgie Kincaid Music Education Chair Fund
with a seed gift of $25,000 in 2012, hoping other Music
alumni and friends will make gifts to the fund to grow to
$1.5 million for it to become operational so the Chair can
become inaugurated and filled. This Chair will meet the
critical need of providing a faculty member to teach Music
with an Education emphasis.
In addition, John and Georgie also established the John
and Georgie Kincaid Instrumental Music Scholarship.
John and Georgie and friends previously established this
scholarship for students who are instrumental musicians.
They also established the Mabel deKoevend Memorial
Music Scholarship, which assists Western students
majoring in Music, and the Brass Band Fund.
Georgie, a teacher, received her Master’s degree at
Western in 1965, and taught at various places including
Western. In 1961, John and Georgie took up permanent
residence in Gunnison.
Georgie taught CPR for the Red Cross throughout the
Western Slope of Colorado for 25 years. She was an active
member of the Football Widows Bowling Club, the Top O’
The World Garden Club and Chapter HK of the PEO Society.
For decades, Georgie knitted bonnets for babies born at
Gunnison Valley Hospital.
Jack will be greatly missed but remembered for a life
lived fully and well.
“We in the Department of Music are saddened by the
passing of Georgie,” said Bob Barrett, Chair of the
Department of Music. “John and Georgie have always
given kindly to help struggling students. The impact the
Kincaids have had on the lives on countless students and
colleagues is enormous.”

enlisted in the Army Air Corps and graduated from Mather
Field navigation school in November. He was assigned to
the 19th bomb wing flying the B-17 heavy bomber, and
was at Hamilton Field, California, scheduled to leave with
a B-17 crew when the Pearl Harbor disaster occurred.
Because the Honolulu-Hickam air route could be used,
he was reassigned to the 77th squadron of the 28th
composite group. The 77th flew the Martin B-26 medium
bomber and was on its way to Alaska and the Aleutians in
January, 1942. In April, 1943, Jake was assigned to a B-25
training wing at Columbia, South Carolina. There he met
and soon married Mary Kathryn Derrick in August, 1946.
Jake was the first athlete to be
awarded a lifetime pass to Western
Athletic Conference sporting events.
Jake and Mary had three children: Thomas in July, 1947
and twins John and Robin in June, 1950. The family
enjoyed tours in Hawaii, England, Nebraska, and Illinois.
Jake retired in April, 1971, choosing to locate with Mary
in Colorado Springs because of the US Air Force Academy
and its excellent medial and athletic facilities.
Early on Jake was involved in community organizations
such as the Homeowners’ Association, of which he was
a member and a former President. He was also active in
Republican Party affairs. Jake was a charter member of
the Air Force Academy Athletic Association.
Jake is survived by his son, Tom; his daughter, Robin;
and his grandchildren. Jake’s wife, Mary, preceded him
in death on January 10, 2013, and his son John, a wellknown reporter for the Rocky Mountain News, was lost in
June, 2006 after a sudden heart attack.
“I got to know Jake when I was President of MAA. He was
a very active supporter of athletics. He never missed
Homecoming, and hosted meals for teams when they were
in Colorado Springs. A great supporter of Western,” said
Glenn Calkins (’62).

IN MEMORIAM
OLIVE B. GIFFORD
1911 – 2015
LIFETIME HONOR ROLL
Olive B. Gifford, a former Librarian at Western, passed
away in her sleep on Sunday, January 18th, 2015. She
was 103.
Olive earned her Bachelor’s in Music from Dana’s
Musical Institute (now of Youngstown University) in
1933, then a Bachelor of Science in Education with a
major in Music at Kent State University in 1936. While
there she met her future husband Herbert Gifford (also
a Music major). In 1940, she married Herbert and they
opened a music store in Ravenna, Ohio. In 1953, they
sold the store and moved their family to Denver so Olive
could attend Denver University Library School, where
she earned an MA in Librarianship in 1955. That same
year she became Canon City High School’s Librarian,
and in 1961 to 1963 she was Head Cataloguer at
Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.
Wanting to get back to Colorado, Olive took a job as
Cataloguer at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling
from 1963 to 1964. In 1964, the family moved to
Gunnison, where she worked as a librarian at Western
until she retired in 1979. She also served as the head
election judge for many elections.
Olive picked up the tuba in junior high, and from 1980 to
1989 she travelled to Silverton every August to play her
tuba in the Great Western Rocky Mountain Brass Band,
and after that played with the British Band Workshop at
Western every summer until putting down the tuba for
good in 1997 at age 86.
Olive worked as a librarian at
Western until she retired in 1979.
Olive loved gardening (earning the Gunnison “Yard of
the Week” several times), sewing, knitting booties,
quilting and tatting. She enjoyed singing in her church
choir until her hearing declined. She loved to travel, so
every summer was a road trip to a different place in
the U.S.
She is survived by her sons, Dr. Lt. Col. USAF Norman
(Phyllis) and Bruce; three granddaughters; two greatgranddaughters; 14 nephews and 14 nieces; and many
grand and great-grand nephews and nieces.

STUDENTS POURING IN!
WESTERN STATE FOUNDATION STAFF
Can you imagine, 3,000 students at Western?! That hasn’t happened since the 1970’s! And it’s coming again! W3000 is an
effort to elevate Western’s enrollment to 3,000+ students. Impossible? The thrilling news is we are now on track to reach
3,000 students within the next few years!
From left to right: Deborah Hoskins, Associate Director
of the Western State Foundation; Tom Burggraf,
Executive Director of the Western State Foundation;
Debbie Johnson, Staff Assistant/Assistant to the
Executive Director; Pam Johnston, Financial Manager/
Annual Fund Officer.
Western is one of very few schools in Colorado to post increasing enrollment year-over-year for the past three years. And during
that time, student retention has risen by 15% to the highest point in recent history, reflecting extraordinary student and parent
satisfaction.
WE NEED YOU TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING! Your gift to W3000 will provide:
Scholarships (merit, need, diversity, academic, athletic)
Marketing to high school students and guidance counselors (62% of front range high school students have never heard of Western)
Support programs for new students, from campus visits to academic success and campus life
Retention programs to uplift struggling students with peer and faculty mentors
Engaging alumni to reconnect, and tell their Western story to reach the next generation of the Western family
Western is climbing to historic heights -- reestablishing its reputation as a
thriving university. Deep pride. Passionate alumni. Community partnership.
Changed lives. Discovered dreams. Bright futures. A resurgence of the
Western mission that transformed your life and so many others.
You love Western. And there has never been a more crucial time to express
that than right now.
Your gift to W3000 will be matched 1:1 by the Western State Foundation
(between now and Dec. 31, 2015) whether it’s $3, $30, $300 or $3,000,
to have TWICE THE IMPACT! Your gift of any size will help make W3000 an
unstoppable force, lifting Western, its students and the Western Nation to
their rightful place...the mountaintop.
Don’t let anything stop you from Giving Today. Please find the enclosed return
envelope in this report, or make your gift online at westernup.org. Thank you!
