Alumni play for heroes
at big Medal concert
Alumni of UW-Green Bay’s highly regarded music program contributed to a patriotic campus/community tribute concert at the Weidner Center. The occasion was a national gathering of America’s most-honored military veterans — the several dozen surviving recipients of Congressional Medal of Honor awards from the WWII, Korean and Vietnam eras. The orchestra that played for the vets and a near-capacity crowd included numerous alumni players. Posing backstage were Luann Glielmi ’78, clarinet; Mona Christensen ’80 and ’96, flute; Brent Hussin ’84, trumpet; Kevin Van Ess ’84, clarinet; Emily Roberts; Amy (Harmann) Johnson ’94, clarinet; Anthony Alvarado-Ortiz ’07, tuba; Bill Dennee ’91, trombone; and Bruce Reines.



President Bush visits
Diego Garcia....and Paul Struss
Paul Struss of Green Bay is a student of history — a Class of 2005 summa cum laude student of history, in fact — so he is no doubt preserving this photograph for posterity. Struss had the opportunity to meet and talk with President George W. Bush when the commander in chief made a Labor Day visit to his duty station: the U.S. Navy support base on the remote island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Struss and his fellow Seabees (Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 7) also greeted Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, who was en route with Bush to a Pacific Rim economic conference. Struss was a standout cross-country runner for the Phoenix during his campus years.
