Ralph Hauenstein WrittenbyGleavesWhitney Bono called him a “cool cat.” He has been a journalist, war hero, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, and he’s not finished yet. At 103 years of age, Ralph Hauenstein has lived an extraordinary life that exemplifies the service and leadership that the Hauenstein Center for Presidenal Studies seeks to inspire in its graduates. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1912, Hauenstein moved to Grand Rapids at the age of 12 and has called Michigan home ever since. During the Second World War, he was based mostly in Iceland and in London, and rapidly rose to the rank of colonel. As chief of the Intelligence Branch in ETOUSA, the Army’s European theater of operaons, he worked under General Dwight Eisenhower. In 1944-’45, traveling to the Connent on a mission to find Hitler and other Nazi leaders, he was among the first Americans into liberated Paris, war-torn Germany, and Nazi concentraon camps. It was in Paris that he gave the now-famous advice to General de Gaulle: to close French brothels, where American soldiers were prone to let military secrets slip. Col. Hauenstein was subsequently awarded the French Croix de Guerre with Palm and Legion of Honor. The U.K. awarded him their Order of the Brish Empire. The destrucon caused by warring dictators and militant ideologues steeled in Hauenstein the resolve to work for beCer internaonal relaons and peaceful soluons to conflict. Reflecng on his warme experiences, the highly decorated colonel said, “In the tweneth century, I saw with my own eyes the worst that leaders are capable of. In the twenty-first century, I want to encourage the best leadership possible so that the world will be beCer for my children’s children.” Colonel Hauenstein (1944) Aer the war, Hauenstein saw opportunies to build bridges between the United States and a Europe devastated by war. He went into internaonal trade, establishing Tri-Connental Trading Company in New York City. He also became the owner of Werner Lehara of Grand Rapids, a food equipment manufacturer that brought Goldfish crackers, Andes mints, Windmill cookies, pastas, and many other foods to the American consumer. By his own admission, Col. Hauenstein has never rered. At the age of 103, he works almost every day and is acve in numerous causes. He was part of the team that in 1996 supervised the first free elecons in Russia. His philanthropy has benefited a variety of organizaons devoted to educaon and medical research in West Michigan. He served on the board that founded the Van Andel Instute and helped establish the neurological center at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids. At Grand Valley State University, his generosity made possible the founding of the Hauenstein Center for Presidenal Studies, whose mission is to inspire a new generaon of leaders devoted to public service. Ralph Hauenstein remains acve in Hauenstein Center programs to this day — a treasure to our students and to all who know him.

Congratulations Andi & Mark! We wish you love and happiness as you start your lives together. March 2015 | ATHLETICCLUBANNOUNCEMENTS|616-456-8311|[email protected] NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR As many of you are aware, Andi (Gilbert) Davis recently announced her resignation as UC Athletic Director, but thankfully, she is not leaving the Club completely! Andi will continue to personal train and instruct classes. Our talented Facility Supervisor, Jason Goodell, will step up and take over as Athletic Director at the beginning of March. Jason has a real gift for teaching and working with our members, and he is excited for his new role. The position will be tweaked slightly by adding on Pam Sommer (10th floor Office Manager) to handle the administrative work so Jason can be more active with our members and better focus on what he loves to do. It will be a great change for the Athletic Club! ATHLETIC CLUB “CLASS SAMPLER” EVENT On Tuesday, March 3 we will be hosting an Athletic Club "Class Sampler" event that will give members and non-members a chance to try some of the classes the AC has to offer. The event will also provide a time for socializing while enjoying complimentary light hors d'oeuvres. We will use this event to introduce Jason as the new Athletic Director. This evening will be a great opportunity to invite friends that have shown interest in joining the Club, as well as an opportunity for you to get in a great work out and to try new classes, all while showing your support to Jason! THREE MONTH TRIAL MEMBERSHIP The UC is now offering a Three Month Trial Membership for March, April & May! This membership includes 24/7 access to the Athletic Club including all group classes listed below! Further Information can be found on the front page. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2014 ACHIEVER’S CLUB!
