Stehman Nominated as 2018 OHS Distinguished Alumnus of the Year

The Class of 1964 is rightfully proud that the Okemos Alumni Association has nominated our classmate, Dr. Frederick B Stehman, to be the recipient of the 2018 Okemos High School Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award.  This award honors the the Okemos alumnus/alumna "who demonstrates exceptional dedication and achievement as well as humanitarian contributions."     

Fred is a most worthy nominee in more ways than one.  Click here to read the nomination document created by Sherrie Paty Barber ('66).  His record of exceptional accomplishment, dedication, and humanitarian contributions is second-to-none.  Please take a moment and email Fred your hearty personal congratulations for an honor well deserved. 

Fred is unusually modest and has declined to accept the award stating that "I am not as convinced that I belong on the same level as these other recipients.  I do appreciate the thought and it is an honor to be considered."
