President’s Message
D
ear Friends,
As we have just ended a very successful semester and are beginning what is hopefully another,
my message for this issue is very simple—GO
VIKINGS! Although it is a simple phrase, it is
a very powerful one and I hear it all of the time
from my granddaughter. As many of you know, I
have a beautiful little granddaughter, Macie Paige
Hunolt, and like all grandmas, I think she is a little
princess. In the summer, Macie loves to sit in the
big double swing behind Baity Hall. She loves to use
the sidewalks on campus as her private superhighways on late summer evenings. But Macie’s greatest
fun is cheering on her daddy, a former MVC basketball player, in the annual alumni basketball game and
cheering for her uncle, a current MVC wide receiver,
on football Saturdays. She wears her Valley t-shirt and
cheers “GO VIKINGS!” and all is right with her world.
As I watch her joy, I think about how MVC renews itself every year with
new freshman coming to campus to replace the graduating seniors. The
alumni return to campus at Homecoming to mingle with the new graduates
and the freshman and the cycle continues. My husband and I and our family have seen this cycle first hand, and we all have been positively impacted
because of Missouri Valley. We have also made many new friends through
our alumni work. The impact this institution has had on the lives of thousands of successful people is amazing, and at times, a little overwhelming.
When Miss Macie throws her arms in the air and cheers “GO VIKINGS!,” it
occurs to me MVC has Vikings of all ages making imprints in the world—
young adults finding their careers; established adults in the prime of their
lives; and aging adults resting after a lifetime of contribution. This college
has had and continues to have a huge, positive impact on the future of our
country and our world.
So, GO VIKINGS! Make your mark!

NEWS:
Year
Dear Valley Family,
Greetings to all MVC alumni and
friends from the Alumni Association Board of Directors! Since the
last issue of Viking Views, there
has been a great deal of activity on
campus.
The start of the school year was
exciting with the largest freshman
class in MVC history. The freshmen were officially welcomed to the College during our annual
Convocation activities.
Despite heavy rains, MVC hosted an extremely successful Homecoming. Homecoming provided an opportunity to recognize this
year’s anniversary classes. We honored two alumni with notable
achievements in their chosen fields. They embody what makes
MVC a College in which we can take great pride.
Each year we recognize an outstanding alumnus and a young
alumnus who have distinguished themselves in their career. The
alumni board seeks your input with these awards. If you are aware
of an alumni deserving of this recognition, please contact the
alumni office or visit the MVC Web site to place your nomination.
We continue to host many local and regional events to provide
opportunities to stay in touch with friends from the College. I
encourage you to frequently visit the College’s Web site to stay
up-to-date on the activities associated with the College. One such
activity new to the College this year was tailgating at each home
football game. The tailgate parties proved to be a success and a
great gathering place for friends and alumni.
The Board of Directors voted to increase its membership from
twelve to fifteen members. We will welcome these new members
during our January meeting.
Your continued support of MVC is a very important part of making all of this happen and we thank you for all that you do. Please
stay connected, and contact us if there is something we can do to
build on your relationship with MVC.
Valley Will Roll,
Spencer Fricke
Alumni Association President

J
on Morris, ’87, wanted
to give back. After
visiting campus and
talking with Professor
Diana Malan, he saw firsthand how the theatre, music
and dance department was
in need of some new equipment. So he gave MVC
something to sing about.
Givingthe gift of
music.
Why did you give this equipment
to the Missouri Valley College
theatre, music, and dance department?
I wanted to give back to Valley in a way that you could
immediately see the benefits for the students. I had been
involved in the vocal music program when I was a student at
Missouri Valley and know it was an area that was in desperate need of updated equipment. I had always wanted to
give back to the college, but as embarrassing as it is to say,
I had neglected doing that for many years. I always had the
thought “what would a small donation by me do for the
college.” Now I am in a position to be able to help in a more
substantial way, but I still regret not making the small donations when I had the chance years earlier. If all alumni think
this way, then there will never be “the right time” to donate.
A small amount by several alumni adds up and helps so
much.
Describe the equipment that you donated.
The Roland® KR105 Digital Intelligent Piano seemed to be
a great fit for Professor Malan and the students. The added
features that this particular piano has are very cool. Just to
name a few, it offers top-quality piano sounds, a touchscreen
interface, DigiScore, a Visual Music Assistant, and much
more. It’s a great learning tool for the students and this will
hopefully allow them to only get better and try some new
things.
You’ve been back to campus and have actually seen the
professors and students using the equipment—how does
that make you feel?
It really reinvigorates the sense of “Valley Pride.” I had that
when I was a student and probably had it a few years after
graduating, but then I lost it. It is a great feeling. It is also
very rewarding to see something benefit the people who

piano.
need it. You can donate to many charities, MS Society, Breast
Cancer, etc. Those are fantastic causes, but you can see
directly the benefit of your help to a smaller institution such
as Valley.
Tell more about your involvement in the theatre, music,
and dance department during your time at MVC?
I was involved in theatre and more involved with the music
program. It was really the beginning of Diana Malan’s choirs.
The funny part is I only joined because a friend was auditioning and didn’t want to sing alone so I went along and
next thing you know I am a part of the choir. It has come so
far since then. Diana truly puts on state of the art productions in a fantastic environment now.
If an alumni/friend can’t necessarily donate financially
to MVC, what advice do you have for one who would be
interested in an “in-kind” gift?
There is so much that can benefit Valley. A college with a
budget and needs such as ours is always needing services
and products—electrical, mechanical, construction, etc. I
would encourage anyone in those types of services to contact
Eric Sappington and let him match their talents with the
campus needs.
Why would you encourage others to give to MVC?
In closing, I would just add that truly no donation is too
small. Believe me I have seen how far a dollar can stretch on
campus. If alumni can only give $50 or $100, it really does
add up and goes directly to benefit future Vikings!

Keith Maxey
OUTSTANDING ALUMNI
Blue Springs South High School
Principal
Keith Maxey found his way to Missouri Valley College
in 1966 from Westport High School in Kansas City,
Missouri. After graduating in 1970, he worked as a
computer draftsman for the Missouri Department of
Transportation for two years. Keith taught and coached
(basketball and football) for 13 years at the former Blue
Springs Junior High. In 1985 he was hired as an administrator, serving in various positions as the district was

Bobby Lashley
World Wrestling Entertainment
Raw Superstar
His picture is used on countless games, books, stickers, and more; he has his own action figure; he was Donald
Trump’s favorite; he has been in hundreds of magazines, papers and television shows; and Bobby Lashley is
proud to be a graduate of Missouri Valley College.
Keith earned his master’s degree in Education and Education Specialist from University of Central Missouri.
He continued with doctoral work at the University of
Missouri at Columbia and is currently ABD (all but dissertation). In 2002, he was the Missouri Association of
Secondary School Principal’s selection for the Missouri
High School Principal of the Year. This honor included
a trip to Washington D.C. with his wife to meet and conference with the 49 other state principals, complete with
black tie award dinner with national dignitaries (sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School
Principals and MetLife).
He has played a part in bringing the “Smaller Learning
Communities” concept to the secondary level in Blue
Springs. In 2002-03 Keith represented the Blue Springs
District by attending multiple sessions of the Missouri
Partnership for Educational Renewal with DESE. Keith
has also been a part of a high school task force working
with Joan Soloman and DESE on ways to improve Missouri high schools by focusing on state assessment.
Hard-hitting and soft-spoken, Lashley has made his mark on the entertainment industry as one of the most
recognizable superstars of the WWE. Lashley attended Missouri Valley College, where he won three national
amateur wrestling championships between 1996 and 1998, placing fourth in 1995. Throughout 1997 and 1998
he was the NAIA National Wrestling Champion, competing at the weight of 177 pounds. After graduating
from MVC in 1999, Lashley joined the United States Army, where he continued to wrestle. In November
2003, Lashley moved to professional wrestling and signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling
Entertainment. He was assigned to its farm federation, Ohio Valley Wrestling, where he was known as Blaster
Lashley and was a member of the Bolin Services stable along with Mike Mondo and Ken Doane. In mid-2005
Lashley appeared at four live events, wrestling in dark matches for both the RAW and SmackDown! brands.
On September 23, 2005, Lashley made his televised WWE debut on SmackDown! under the name Bobby
Lashley. Lashley was introduced as a three-time National NAIA Wrestling Champion, four-time All-American,
a two-time Armed Forces Champion, and a 2002 Silver Medalist at the Military World Championship. In his
first match he beat Simon Dean then, in his pay-per-view debut at No Mercy 2005, defeated Dean once again.
Lashley went on to conquer numerous superstars both on Velocity and SmackDown!
Along these same lines, Keith in 2005-2006 attended
multiple sessions as a member of a committee with the
Department of Education in Washington D.C. to determine methods to get better participation in the use of
the NAEP (National Assessment of Education) exam.
This led to a pilot program at Blue Springs South High
School. This also provided tremendous exposure to the
diversity of problems principals face in the different regions of the United States. Keith has also been a part of
a grass roots movement in the work of “Stand Up Blue
Springs”. This group meets to explore and determine
community issues and discuss solutions that would better promote what is good in the community.
Lashley graduated in 1999 from MVC with a bachelor’s degree in human service agency management and
recreation administration. He has a daughter, Kyra, 2, and resides in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he owns a health
smoothie shop.
He has been married to his wife Lona, a 1970 MVC
alumnus, for 36 years. The couple has one daughter,
Eastin.

Sam Kornhauser
From left: Wilds, Lamura, Kornhauser, Schuchardt, and Roskelly.
Shortly after starting college Sam Kornhauser’s teammates quickly nicknamed him “The Ramblin’ Wreck from Brooklyn Tech.”
Sam was a member of the MVC wrestling and football teams. He was twice selected as an All-Conference offensive tackle and
was named an NAIA District 16 All-Star. Apparently, Sam also had a sense of style – one of the HOF board members mentioned
that Sam was the first person he ever saw wearing bell bottoms! After graduating in 1971 he returned to his alma mater, Brooklyn
Tech, and coached football for five seasons. He spent two years in Nome, Alaska as a basketball coach. Sam was the defensive
coordinator at Norwich University in Vermont for five years before moving to Stony Brook, N.Y. where he started the Division III
football program. Over the course of 21 seasons, Sam has presided over the Stony Brook football program that began at the Division III level and has since moved up to the Division I ranks. Sam is a four-time Stony Brook Men’s Athletics Coach of the Year selection. In May
2004 the All-American Football Foundation presented him with the Johnny Vaught Award for his outstanding performance in football. He was
also honored in 1995 by the Metropolitan Chapter of the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football officials with its Metro Award for undying efforts to the game of college football. In addition to his B.S. degree from Missouri Valley College, Sam has also earned a Master of Science in
Exercise Physiology from Southern Illinois and a C.A.S. degree from the University of Vermont. Sam currently resides in East Setauket with his
wife, Pam. He has two daughters, Sarah and Rachel.
Jim Roskelly
Jim Roskelly came to Missouri Valley College in 1968 and lettered in football and track all four years. In 1970 he received honorable mention NAIA all district sixteen honors. The Vikings were conference champions that year and ranked tenth in the nation. In
1971 Jim led district 16 in receiving and scoring, and was selected first team all conference, first team NAIA all district 16, and NAIA
honorable mention All-American. Valley was ranked 8th in the nation at the time and were also conference champs. In 1972 Jim
was selected first team Heart of America Athletic Conference and first team NAIA all district 16. In the four years he played football
at Missouri Valley, Jim scored 35 touchdowns.
Jim graduated in 1972 and went on to earn a master’s degree from Brigham Young University. Jim worked in education for several years in Chicago, managed a supper club for 11 years in Palos Park, Ill., and is currently farming the family farm and managing his hunting club.
Jim lists Reed Kepner and Ken Gibler as the two most influential people in his life at Valley. Jim would not have played football had it not been
for Reed Kepner and Coach Gibler gave him a chance as a walk on.
Bill Schuchardt
Bill Schuchardt was a 1972 honors graduate of Missouri Valley College. During his undergraduate years he was a 4-year starter for Coach
Ken Gibler. He played offensive guard during his first two years and moved to the defensive side of the ball during his last two years. He
was selected as All MCAU, All HAAC and All District linebacker. Bill was named Outstanding Defensive Back in the 1970 and 1971
football seasons, sharing that honor with teammate and Hall of Famer Phil Willard. In the 1971 Mineral Water Bowl, Bill was recognized
as the Outstanding Tackler of the game. Bill’s class had the distinction of winning the last MCAU championship and the first HAAC
championship. While at Valley, he was a member of V-Club and Sigma Nu social fraternity. After Valley, Bill earned a master’s degree
from Indiana State University.
Bill’s coaching career started at St. Mary’s High School in St. Louis where he was the defensive coordinator in football and the head track coach. Since
1981 he has been the head football coach and athletic director at Salem High School where he has amassed a record of 218-66. This 26-year span has
earned the Salem Tigers 14 SCA Championships, 11 district championships, five Final Four appearances and 2 trips to the Show Me Bowl. Bill has
received many honors over the past 26 years: SCA coach of the year, Southwest Missouri Coach of the year, and Southeast Region Coach of the year.
In 2002 he was named to the Missouri Football Coaches Hall of Fame. Coach Schuchardt has served on the MSHSAA Football and Coaches Advisory
Boards. Bill has been married for 29 years to his wife, Karen, and they have two sons, Jeff and Joe, who both coach football.

2007 Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees
Ron Wilds
Ron Wilds came to Missouri Valley College in 1970 from Pennsylvania. During his time at Valley he was a valued member of the
football and track programs. It was reported to the Hall of Fame committee that Ron never lost any of the track events he was
in with Bruce Jenner. Ron graduated from MVC in 1973 earning his bachelor’s degree in business administration. He went on
to Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City and earned his DC degree in 1977, at which point he opened a solo practice of
chiropractic in Blue Springs, Mo., which he still operates today. Since 1977 Ron has worked on numerous committees for the City
of Blue Springs, he served as president of the Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners for four years, an active member of
the Blue Springs Rotary Club since 1982, and was selected Outstanding Blue Springs Rotarian in 1995. He was selected Blue Springs Chamber of
Commerce outstanding citizen of the year in 1996. He has served the Missouri Special Olympics in many capacities for 29 years. Ron is a member of the Cleveland Chiropractic Alumni Association and served the Blue Springs R-IV School District Board of Education for four years. This
is just a sampling of Ron’s service and accomplishments, and Ron states that the biggest accomplishment in his life is his two daughters, Ryann
and Ashley.
Al LaMura
Al LaMura was one of the most prolific quarterbacks the Heart of America Athletic Conference has ever seen. Al was a complete leader in that he epitomized the Valley spirit in every way. His record as a starter of 25-5 is only eclipsed by his persona as
a leader, competitor, and teammate, who constantly exemplified tenacity and sportsmanship. Al earned All-Conference honors
in his second season in 1976, and threw for a school record 18 touchdowns. In his senior year Al was co-captain leading his
team to the NAIA Division II playoffs. In his three years he was 25-5-1. After graduating Al signed as a free agent with the
Dallas Cowboys. Al taught and coached high school for a few years before becoming an independent agent for Lawson Product where he has been for the last 26 years. During this time he has coached youth sports in his community, and for the past 6
years, he bas been coaching quarterbacks at Brick Township High School in Bricktown, N.J. In 2006 he was elected into Marlboro High School’s
Hall of Fame. Al resides in Bricktown with his wife, Jean, and they have four children: Christopher, Kate, Holly and Andre.
Teammate E.J. Narcise says, “Although I’m confident that his individual achievements speak for themselves, Al LaMura never cared about individual awards; all he truly cared about was winning the right way. Al should be recognized as one of the most outstanding athletic leaders, Valley
has ever known.”
1997 National Championship Wrestling Team
The 1997 Missouri Valley College men’s wrestling team was one of most dominant teams in NAIA wrestling history. This team distinguished
itself in Missouri Valley College wrestling history as the first team to receive the #1 National ranking in pre-season. They went on to hold that
ranking throughout the season and set the national team point scoring record and won back-to-back NAIA National Championships. During the
season this team also won the first ever NAIA Coaches Association National Dual Meet Championships held in Las Vegas, Nev.
This team produced 8 All-Americans with six reaching the finals and 2 earning individual National titlists and as a result of this championship
MVC was again invited to participate the following year in the National Wrestling Coaches Association’s National Dual Championship as the
NAIA representative competing against the NCAA Division I, II, III National Champions, and 12 other top NCAA Division I teams.
Tom Sandwith
Of the 12 members of the 1997 team, nine earned All-American honors, seven became national finalist and five earned individual national championships during their careers, and one became a World Military silver medalist representing the United Stated Army.

memorialize a Viking.

Nearly 100 of New York City’s
finest high school seniors are suiting up. Two teams—Staten Island
and Queens—are made up of young
men from over 20 different high
schools. They are mentally preparing
themselves to stand on the sidelines
next to some of their biggest rivals.
Their helmets range from purple to
black to orange. But today all of their
jerseys are the same—they are all
proudly wearing the title “Fugazzi
Bowl” across their chests.
In his high school years at New
Dorp High School in Staten Island,
N.Y., Fred Fugazzi was making a
name for himself. A football standout, he gained over 2,000 yards,
averaging over 100 yards per game,
and five yards per carry—stats that
would eventually take him hundreds
of miles from his New York roots—
smack dab in the middle of Missouri.
In the fall of 1961, Fred began his
freshman year at Missouri Valley
College. His outstanding high school
record had provided him with not
only the opportunity to get a college
education, but also the chance to
continue to play the game he loved
so dearly.
The Viking football program had
become one of the most respected
ones in the country, and Fred would
represent the program very well.
Fred helped lead the Vikings to an
undefeated season his sophomore
year, and the team finished sixth in
the nation in scoring and 18th in
rushing. Fred was a team co-captain his senior year while earning
All-Conference, All-Missouri, and
NAIA Little All-American honors.
Fred rushed for over 2,500 yards and
capped his collegiate career by being
drafted by the Boston Patriots.
Opting against professional
football, Fred joined the Marines
and played football for the Quantico
(VA) base team.
Fred didn’t limit his college experience to just football. He was very
active on campus and made several
close friends along the way. According to Joe Avena ’64, his high school
teammate who had also made the
journey to the Midwest, Fred was
grateful for his experience at Valley.
“He absolutely loved the Midwest
and his time at Missouri Valley,” Avena said. “He made amazing friends
that he was in contact with for years
after he left. Fred created a loyalty
and a strong friendship to all people
who knew him. If you were a friend
of Fred’s, you were his friend for life.”
On his wedding day, Avena witnessed Fred’s loyalty to their friendship.
“I opened up the card and Fred
had given me $80.36,” Avena explained. “I thought long and hard
about why he would give that
amount of money until it finally hit
me. My football number was 80 and
Page 11
his was 36. It was the most special amount of money I
had ever received.”
After graduating in 1965, Fred headed back to the
East Coast. He and Avena continued their love for football and coached for a number of years in Staten Island.
“Fred always loved working with the tougher kids,”
Avena said. “He had a knack with them both on and
off the field I think because he could relate to them. It’s
comforting to know how many of those kids’ lives that
he changed.”
Fred would eventually get a job with the New York
City Fire Department. According to Avena, this was a
perfect fit for Fred.
“If someone was in need, he was there for them,”
Avena said. “He was so strong physically and mentally
Joe Avena and Paul Troth visit with Staten island
All-Stars. Troth discussed the MVC football program,
MVC admission requirements, and scholarship information. Avena told students about his decision to
attend MVC and the great experience that he had.
that you knew he was around when he was. He had one
of the most charismatic and magnetic personalities that
I have ever seen.”
Fred would be honored for bravery on two separate
occasions during his career with the FDNY, and his
benevolent instincts would ultimately be the reason we
today memorialize him. While off duty in New York on
Nov. 5, 1977, Fred came upon a complete stranger who
was being beaten. He was determined to help, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. Fred was murdered while trying to
break up the fight. He was 36 years old.
At Fred’s wake, Avena and other friends decided Fred
Page 12
needed to be remembered. Those who knew him best
knew that the best way to do this was with his favorite
pastime—football. And so the Fred Fugazzi Memorial
Award Dinner and Fugazzi Bowl was born.
“Football did a lot for him and it gave him many
opportunities in his life,” Avena said. “He loved helping
kids and so this was the best combination of what he
did.”
The Fugazzi Award is regarded as the “Heisman”
Award of Staten Island high school football. Each year,
the Fugazzi family donates a $2,000 scholarship to the
Award winner.
After learning about the Bowl and the scholarship,
MVC President Bonnie Humphrey thought it would be
great to make Fred’s alma mater a part of the Fugazzi
Memorial.
“I think it’s incredibly important for Missouri
Valley College to recognize the significance of its
past, and we haven’t always done a good job at
that,” Humphrey said. “My goal is to reconnect
with as many people who share the passion and
traditions of Missouri Valley. The story of Fred
Fugazzi and this group of friends who have kept
his legend alive is absolutely amazing and I think
it needs to be told and retold within the Valley
family.”
For those Fugazzi Bowl players who want to
follow in the footsteps of Fugazzi, Avena, and others and venture to the Midwest, Missouri Valley
College makes available a $5,000 scholarship to
them, providing they meet the school’s admission
requirements.
The Fugazzi Memorial Award Committee, which has
now become a little family of its own, will continue to
put on this event.
“This is one of the oldest established sports traditions on Staten Island,” said Rita Barchitta, committee
president and a friend of Fred’s since grammar school.
“We have sons of the men who played in the game, and
it is an honor for these kids to get chosen to play in this
game.”
This year the Staten Island team came out on top. Another year of photos, rosters, and newspaper clippings
to fill the scrapbooks. Through his friends and family on
the committe, the players, the coaches, and the parents
and fans, Fred Fugazzi lives on.
“It takes a lot of work to put on this event, but it’s
obvious how much Fred was loved,” Barchitta said. “Year
after year, his family and friends make sure this happens.
And we do it all for the love of Fred.”

MVC’s Sheena Simpson will not be stopped
By Travis Watts/MVC Senior
Sheena Simpson, a sophomore at Missouri Valley
College, had a life changing experience when she
entered a crosswalk on Oct. 5, 2006. Simpson was
on her way to cross-country practice when she was
struck by a car and thrown 30 feet.
Miraculously, she came away from the accident
without any serious injuries and was released
from the hospital later that night. Despite her early
release, prospects for Simpson running again did
not look good. Simpson had a fractured wrist, four
severely bruised bones in her right knee, and several
other deep muscle bruises.
Simpson had a unique reason to start running
competitively in high school.
“The high school coach said he didn’t think I
could handle distance running, so I wanted to prove
him wrong,” Simpson said.
Not only could she handle it, but she became one
of the top high school runners in the state of Texas.
She placed fourth at the state cross-country meet
her sophomore year, and also won several district
and regional titles while in high school.
In her first three races at Missouri Valley, she
established herself as the team’s top runner. In the
final race before her accident, Simpson ran a 20:22
in only her second career 5K race, but she wasn’t
dominating the competition like she had in the
past.
“When I was in high school I won most of my
races, but in college I have a lot more competition,”
Simpson said.
After three months of physical therapy to heal
her injuries, Simpson made her return for outdoor
track—but she was not the same.
After months of inactivity, Simpson felt like an
entirely different runner than the one that had led
the team during cross country. She was 20 seconds
off her usual mile time and more than a minute
slow on her two mile.
“Once I started running again, I felt so far behind
that I kind of gave up during track season,” Simpson
said.
After a disappointing track season, Simpson
was determined to reach her previous form. She
spent the summer putting in mileage and anxiously
awaiting the start of cross country.
The hard work paid off more than even Simpson
could have anticipated. She improved more than a
minute from the previous cross country season, running the 5K in 19:19. Simpson also finished the year
earning All-Conference and All-Region honors.
Even after such a successful return, Simpson still
has more
goals she
would like to
accomplish.
“I want
to break 19
minutes
in cross
country, and
for outdoor
track I’d
like to run
the 1,500
(meters)
in 4:50,”
Valley sophomore Sheena SimpSimpson

has not
only come back stronger after the accident, she has
found a new appreciation for running.
“The time off made me realize how much
running means to me and how I had taken it for
granted in the past,” Simpson said. “I was afraid
that I’d never be able to run around with my kids.
It wasn’t just about the competition; it was about
my life.”

issouri Valley College
celebrated Convocation
the week of Sept. 3 and
formally welcomed the
Class of 2011 to campus.
Students, faculty, and staff participated in various activities throughout the week.
One goal of Convocation is to help freshman students
feel at home at Missouri Valley.
“Freshmen were given the opportunity to get a lot of
good advice from people who know first hand about Valley,” said Ashley Grindstaff, student body president.
Many speakers shared advice with freshmen and gave
advice on how to be successful in college.
Grindstaff explained what might cause
students to get off track and offered advice
on how to stay focused.
“I was trying to get across a lot of things
I wish someone would have told me when
I was their age,” Grindstaff said.
Grindstaff also gave freshmen the
opportunity to hear from a peer what to
expect with college life.
“It’s different hearing advice from a student than from a teacher,” Grindstaff said.
“The most important thing I wanted to relay to the freshmen is to get involved and
find something that caught their interests
because it forces them to be responsible.”
Larry Stockman, professor of business
and recipient of the 2007 John McCallum
Excellence in Teaching Award, was the
keynote speaker. He stressed to students
that Missouri Valley is a family and how
families are there for each other.
“We share the experiences, however,
you will create your own traditions,”
Page 18
Stockman said.
Other speakers included: President Bonnie Humphrey;
Dr. Earl Wellborn, MVC chief academic officer; Heath
Morgan, dean of students; Sharon Hoeflicker, President’s
Staff Excellence Award winner; Wayne Crawford, on behalf
of the MVC Board of Trustees; Connie Latimer, City of
Marshall mayor; Dr. Marilyn Belwood, MVC Faculty Senate president; and Spencer Fricke, MVC Alumni Association president.

In October 2007, four MVC alumni celebrated 50 years of
friendship since meeting on campus in 1957 and then becoming fraternity brothers at MVC. Even though they live
miles apart, they get together at least two times per year. For
the last 40 years, they have all attended the Indianapolis
500 together in May. To celebrate their 60th birthdays, the
four guys rode the 180-mile Katy Trail on bicycles from St.
Charles to Sedalia, MO. In 1997 they began an annual fall
gathering for their families, which later became known as the
Fall Rendezvous. Pictured above are (seated from left) Toni

MVC community cares for soldiers
The MVC and Marshall communities have been attempting to
make soldiers in Iraq feel a bit more at home with the Moval Cares
Project for Soldiers. Members from the MVC and Marshall communities donate funds and items for care packages that are then
sent overseas to soldiers. Some of the items that have been sent
include homemade cookies, magazines and books, lip balm, baby
wipes, beef jerky, socks, crackers, drink mixes, candy, crossword
puzzle books, artwork, gum, and much more. Notes are also
included that explain the project and the people behind it. Several
soldiers have written thank you letters and sent pictures. Dr.
Tamara King, MVC assistant professor of history, heads up the
project.
