Diane was employed as a designed with Dart Container and later the John Henry Company during her college years and later as a designer and then Art Director for advertising agencies in Lansing, Detroit, Jacksonville, Florida and Grand Rapids.
Afterward, Diane served as an instructor in the Interior Design Department at Michigan State for a number of years. Her full obituary can be found by clicking here and in the In Memory section of this website.
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."
