As I sit here watching an incredible U.S. Open at Oakmont (near Pittsburgh), I am reflecting on this past June when 87 Knox alumni and their families gathered to play golf in the annual Knox College golf outing with special guest Harley Knosher.
There were big smiles and bigger handshakes and hugs as Knoxites gathered to celebrate yet another opportunity to connect. It is these occasions that allow this small, but mighty college on the prairie to continue to exist and to draw students from around the globe to understand that newfound knowledge and friendship endure through the years.

I encourage you to create avenues to bring your classmates and their families together anywhere, anytime, because those hugs, conversations, and handshakes mean the world to those who have an opportunity to engage.
Venture Boldly to create an alumni and friends event that will mean the world to those who come!

Homecoming and Family and Friends Weekend will be here before we know it. Mark your calendars for October 9-12! It’s the perfect time to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and return to the place that connects us all.
A special shout-out to the Class of 1975 as they celebrate their 50th Reunion, along with the classes of 1970, 1965, and others marking milestone Reunions this fall.
Thank you for your incredible generosity this past fiscal year. Your support ensures Knox continues to thrive, and we are grateful for all the ways you give back. This year, I challenge you to engage with Knox by attending an event, serving as a volunteer, sending news for the FYC, and supporting the College with a gift.
I look forward to seeing many of you on campus this fall!
Alumni Council Meeting Report
By: FYC Representative Mary Lu Aft ’60
The spring meeting was not business as usual, as President Tom Bazan ’05, welcomed the Alumni Council, both in person and on Zoom. Our first order of business was to recognize the new Corridor Knox Club—the corridor being the link between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. FYC members who live in this area (or visit!) should be sure to connect with Sam Jarvis ’09 and get to know your neighborhood Knox alumni.
The majority of this meeting was spent with consultants Karin George and Chris Marshall, who challenged us to Venture Boldly as we represent our Knox alumni constituents.
Karin, interim vice president for Advancement, updated us on support for the Venture Boldly initiative. Part of the initiative is to increase constituent engagement. Constituents include everyone connected or associated with Knox—alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends. Engagement opportunities include communication, volunteering, and fundraising.
At Knox, 28 percent of our alumni are involved in some way. The percentage for FYC members is higher, but we are constantly looking for ways to increase that number.
Chris Marshall, of Chris Marshall Advancement Consulting, joined us by Zoom to challenge our work toward more meaningful alumni engagement by updating our means and methods of engagement. He noted that alumni engagement goals are as important as fundraising goals. Working toward more alumni engagement means that we must address the entire alumni population to provide meaningful and relevant programs and opportunities for participation. It also means taking advantage of technology to broaden our reach.
A couple of generations ago, Knox grads were not spread over the entire country, or even the world, or involved in as many diverse fields as we are now. Now we can stay connected in many more ways. We can connect alumni with a variety of interests, professions, or social concerns, no matter where we live. We are committed to meeting these challenges and finding more meaningful ways to engage and encourage wider participation.

Perhaps one of the biggest events in Galesburg in quite a while took place on the South Lawn of the campus on Friday evening as we enjoyed a presentation of Venture Boldly to the Knox and Galesburg communities. Under possibly the biggest tent in Western Illinois, several hundred people enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and non-alcoholic drinks followed by a presentation on the vision of the Venture Boldly initiative, led by President C. Andrew McGadney, which featured faculty and student testimonials and the Knox Choir. This ‘road show’ has already played in several cities and is scheduled for more stops next year, minus the choir and big tent, of course. As the sky darkened, we were treated to a terrific drone light show featuring iconic Knox images.
Be sure to attend a Venture Boldly event near you if possible. You’ll be glad you did. After all, we are all part of the past, present, and future of Knox.

FYC Members Give Back
By: Ross Terman ’72
SaveOurStories.net began at a family celebration that turned into something much deeper. My Aunt Barb’s 90th birthday party was a joyful event. Like so many families today, we are scattered around the country, and it was lovely reconnecting with family members we hadn’t seen in years. As we were flying back to Miami, I realized something striking: Aunt Barb was the last living member of my parents’ generation. That fact hit me hard. Suddenly, the importance of capturing her voice, her memories, and her perspective felt urgent.
So I sat down with Aunt Barb and recorded two video interviews. I wanted to preserve everything, including stories about her parents and siblings (my dad and uncle were real troublemakers), what life was like during World War II, and all of her travels. As I edited the interviews, cleaning up pauses and organizing the clips by topic, I had a moment of clarity: this wasn’t just something valuable for me or the Terman family. This was something every family should have.
What began as a personal project soon turned into an impetus to create a business. After wrapping up my long career in software development, I found myself bored and looking for the next thing— something meaningful, something creative, and something to keep my mind busy. I realized that helping families preserve their legacies could be that “next thing.” So, I built SaveOurStories.net, a place where families can capture the voices and memories of loved ones before they’re lost.
Everyone has a fascinating story. That’s not just a nice sentiment; it’s a fact I live every day. Each time I sit down for a new interview, I’m drawn in by the humor, honesty, wisdom, and love that come through. These conversations are rich with meaning. They connect generations, inspire pride, and sometimes even heal old wounds.
Best of all, I’m having an absolute ball doing it. Listening to these stories is not just fulfilling—it’s fun! I laugh, I learn, and I’m often deeply moved. Aunt Barb passed away last February, but now, thanks to the interviews, her stories and legacy will live on.

FYC Scholarships
The FYC supports two scholarships at Knox: the Garnett Babbitt Martin Scholarship and the Sandburg Lombard Scholarship. Continuing to make gifts to these scholarships is just one of the many ways the FYC supports Knox.
The Garnett Babbitt Martin Scholarship, established through a gift from Mrs. Martin, Lombard College Class of 1925, supports need-based students in a variety of different majors. This year’s recipient majored in biology with a minor in psychology and served as co-captain of the volleyball team. With the help of Knox alumni with medical connections, they are pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy.
his first published poems were printed in the school's literary magazine. The 2025-26 recipient is a first-generation college student and is a member of Alpha Phi Omega. The student plans to start a club that supports students with disabilities.
The Sandburg Lombard Scholarship honors Galesburg native and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carl Sandburg. He attended Lombard College, and
If you would like to learn more about how you can support student scholarship, and maybe even endow one, please contact Jennifer Gallas, associate director of donor relations, at jgallas@knox.edu or 309-341-7957.
Students stand beside their research presentations during Horizons, an event that highlights original student work across academic disciplines. Opportunities like these are made possible through scholarships that help students pursue their studies and share their discoveries.
Fifty Year Club Members Make Bold Impact
Knox’s Fifty Year Club alumni are living proof that collective generosity powers a bold future for the College. During fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025), FYC alumni contributed more than $12 million, with 21 percent or 1,010 donors making a gift.
These gifts fuel scholarships, strengthen academic programs, support faculty and coaches, and ensure Knox continues to provide an education that challenges students to Venture Boldly into the world. Every dollar, and every donor, makes a difference, and together, FYC members are ensuring that the Knox experience remains accessible and transformative now, and for years to come.
FYC gifts to the Knox Fund continue to be critically important to meeting the immediate needs of all Knox students. Your gifts provide the most flexibility to put your gifts to work when it is needed most. You can visit knox.edu/support-knox to learn more.
Thank you for leading by example and showing what is possible when we come together in support of Knox.

The Class of 1974 Makes History
The Class of 1974 has set a new standard for what is possible during a 50th Reunion. This year, the class raised the largest 50th Reunion gift in Knox history, alongside the highest participation rate ever achieved by a 50th Reunion class
Together, the Class of 1974 surpassed the Homecoming gift to Knox, raising more than $4 million, with an impressive 74 percent of classmates making a gift in honor of their milestone Reunion. This extraordinary generosity will fuel scholarships, academic programs, immersive learning, and the experiences that prepare Knox students to lead lives of purpose and impact.
The success of this record-breaking Reunion giving campaign would not have been possible without the leadership of Reunion Chairs Monta Lee Dakin, Stan Jaworski, David Schulz, and Betty Spieth Croll, along with the dedicated efforts of the entire 50th Reunion Committee.
To the Class of 1974: thank you for your vision, commitment, and generosity. You have left a legacy that will inspire future Reunion classes to Venture Boldly in support of Knox and its students.

Alumni and Friends Explore Japan
In April, a group of Knox alumni and friends ventured boldly on a remarkable journey to experience Japan’s vibrant culture, history, and landscapes. Traveling aboard the Heritage Adventurer, participants enjoyed gourmet meals, expert lectures, and the camaraderie of fellow Knox travelers while visiting Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Shirakawago, Sakaiminato, Matsue, and Hagi.
The itinerary offered opportunities to explore serene traditional gardens, fascinating museums, and bustling markets, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the beauty and complexity of Japanese culture.
Joining the group was Michael Schneider, provost and dean of

A faculty member since 1992, Schneider has twice served as resident director for the ACM/GLCA Japan Study program in Tokyo and has chaired Knox’s history, Asian studies, and international studies programs. His expertise in East Asian history and Japan’s international and intercultural relations added depth and context to each stop along the journey.
The tour also featured Emmy Award-winning international news correspondent Jim Laurie, who shared insights from his more than five decades of covering the region, providing travelers with a deeper understanding of Japan’s place on the world stage.
This trip exemplified the spirit of lifelong learning that defines the Knox community, bringing alumni and friends together to experience the world while building connections that last long after the journey ends.

If your class year ends in a 0 or a 5, you have a milestone Reunion this year!
We hope you will make a gift and return to celebrate on campus! Watch for more information in your email and on social media.
Celebrate Milestone Reunions at Homecoming & Family Weekend
The Knox Engagement Office is planning a memorable Reunion Weekend, October 9–12, 2025. The FYC is especially excited to welcome alumni celebrating the 65th, 60th, 55th, and 50th Reunions.
The weekend begins Thursday evening, October 9, with a new event, a reception for all FYC alumni and especially those celebrating their Reunion years. This gathering is the perfect way to kick off the festivities.
On Friday evening, enjoy a campuswide reception that brings together alumni from every era. Members of the Class of 1975 will also gather that night for their 50th Reunion reception—a chance to celebrate together. Saturday offers a full schedule of lectures, open houses,
and, of course, the football game. That afternoon, make plans to attend the FYC Lunch, where we will welcome and induct the Class of 1975.
Saturday night features a celebratory dinner for the 65th, 60th, and 55th Reunion classes. The 50th Reunion class will enjoy a special dinner off campus. The weekend concludes on Sunday morning with an all-alumni brunch before heading home.
No matter how long it’s been since your last trip to Galesburg, there’s no better time to come home to Knox. Join us for Reunion weekend to share memories and make new ones. We can’t wait to welcome you back on campus.
What’s New With You?
Chuck Porter ’52, Palm Desert, CA—“Priscilla and I started a competition between high schools, both public and private, on world knowledge. We do it for the World Affairs Council of the Desert. This is one of 60 or so councils that are a part of the World Affairs Councils of America, based in Washington, D.C., which started a national competition open to local councils that sponsor WorldQuest competitions in their area. We have had up to 14 schools compete in our local competition. The winners of the local competitions go to Washington, D.C. each April to compete in the national competition. This year was the 20th year of our participation. Two and three years ago, our team scored 3rd in the nation. It is one of the major competitions in the Valley that includes others for math and science. Our recent competition was held in the theater of our local university.”
Caroline Hamblin Tucker ’53, Midlothian, VA—“I’m just learning to write again after a period of illness. I am so glad that Carolyn Park keeps me in touch with Knox through the Fifty Year Club. I am also glad that Knox has put my father’s, Adolph ‘Ziggy’ Hamblin, World War II letters in the Knox archives. The letters are from men my Daddy either worked with or taught. Some are sad, but all are interesting. During the pandemic, I wrote a book about my life before and after Knox.”
Al ’55 and Barbara Behringer Paulus ’56, Hernando, FL—“Would love to attend Homecoming this year—Al’s 70th—just to show those 50th whippersnappers! However, that’s likely impossible. All’s well here in Florida.”
Marilyn Veith Roberts ’57, Pawleys Island, SC—“Just celebrated my 90th birthday. Lots of family and friends helped me party!”
Students compete during World Affairs Council of the Desert sponsored by Chuck ’52 and Priscilla Porter.
Larry ’59 and Barbara Woods Blasch ’61, Richmond, VA—“Staying busy with life in Richmond. Our youngest grandson graduated from Lake Forest in May, and we traveled to Illinois to attend.”
Bob ’61 and Joan Dude Callecod ’62, Bowling Green, OH— “We continue to travel the world. In the coming year, we will cruise to the Mediterranean, visit French Polynesia off New Zealand, Hilton Head, and the Danube. We are healthy and happy!”
Steve Cox ’62, Grand Junction, CO— “I retired from being a professor at Colorado State, where I headed the Department of Atmospheric Science. Today, I am enjoying my family and relaxing in Grand Junction.”
David Proebsting ’62, Waupaca, WI— “I pretty much do what most folks of a certain age do—
Jo Mannino Hockenhull ’63, Salem, OR—“I had a busy 2024. Seven of my large paintings were installed in the new BIO-SCI building on the Washington State University Vancouver campus. Six of the artworks are based on X-ray images of either humans or animals. This allows viewers to compare the underlying structures of living beings without skin, fur, feathers, or color. The similarities are enlightening. The largest painting/print, “The Inheritors,” fills a wall in the student’s study area. I think of myself as a visual researcher/explorer. As a former educator, it is rewarding to have my pieces installed in this educational setting.”
nothing!!! However, I enjoy children, grandchildren, and a great-grandkid. Since I spent my working days in light commercial development, I am now quite prepared to repair or fix almost anything.”
Lee ’62 and Alexandra Houston Benham ’61, St. Louis, MO—“Our classmate, Norm IIchene, and I have been exchanging baseball stories. Norm is a seriously knowledgeable Cubs fan – his first game was in 1952. Wrigley Field is the generator of amazing stories. Alexandra and I took a self-driving Waymo taxi recently in Los Angeles. The driverless car ride was fun, inexpensive, and safe. Some data suggests it is 80% safer than a regular taxi. It is now available in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Phoenix, Austin, and soon in Atlanta. This technology will change the way we live.”

Kate Calvert Bloomberg ’62, Brookfield, WI— “I share life with a delightful (most of the time) guy named Scott. We travel, enjoy Scott’s grandson, and my 29 grandkids and 16 great-grandkids. This year, travel includes the East Coast, Africa, and Patagonia.”
Lucy Blomfield ’70, Sarasota, FL— “Thank you for your faithfulness in sending me an FYC postcard on my birthday! It always brings back fond memories of Knox.”
John Knoche ’74, Chicago, IL— “Velma Powell passed away in April 2023. She was a Spanish instructor at Knox in 1971-72, and I had her for my one year of Spanish. She encouraged me to take advantage of the Knox Barcelona program. Knox did not offer her a faculty position, so she moved to Madrid, where she had a successful career as a blues and gospel singer. She also ran a language school for business people. I chased her down in 2018, and although she didn’t remember me, we had a lovely time visiting. I’m not sure if she was at Knox for more than one year. She married an Irish guy, Austin Thornton, and has three adult children, Ciara, Sean, and Eamon.”

Faculty Past and Present: Leland Harris
By: Douglas Rushing ’62
As a 1962 alum, I can say without any reservations that Knox College, and Dr. Leland Harris, chemistry department chair, had a major influence on how my life has evolved.
Thanks to Dr. Harris’ help, I earned a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at the University of Missouri in Columbia. This was followed by postdoctoral work at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, three years at the University of Concord in Athens, West Virginia, and a career as a faculty member at what is now Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.
During my years there, I was biochemistry department chair, associate dean of biomedical sciences, and founding dean of the College of Biosciences, which included the development of an M.S. program in the biosciences, which prepared students for
medical school and/or doctoral degrees in the life sciences. As a professor emeritus at KCU, I am now assisting the current College of Biosciences dean in the development of a Ph.D. program to further expand the academic outreach of the university, which just this year opened a dental school in Joplin, Missouri.
My career has exceeded the expectations I had when I enrolled at Knox in the fall of 1958, and I credit Knox and Dr. Harris as the primary reasons for that.

Maximize Your Giving Power Like AJ Smith ’70 Did!
If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to Knox—called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). It’s a tax-smart way to give, even if you don’t itemize.
QCDs can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution, letting you use funds you already have to make a meaningful difference for Knox students.
AJ Smith ’70 chose this option after realizing she could give more than she thought possible. “Over time, I looked at what’s happening with my IRA and realized—I can do this,” she says.
To learn more, visit giftplanning.knox. edu or contact Paul Steenis ’85 at psteenis@knox.edu or 309-341-7145.
Your gift will impact Knox students today and help the next generation of Knox students venture boldly into the future.
Scroll of Honor 2025
During Homecoming and Family & Friends Weekend in October, the FYC will award the 2025 Scroll of Honor, which recognizes lifetime achievements in the service of community, society, or humanity.
Mary Barclay Tompkins ’71 will be recognized for lifetime achievements during Homecoming Convocation. Mary is the emeritus professor of Immunology and director of the Flow Cytometry Laboratory at North Carolina State University.
Look for more about Mary online and in the next issue of the FYC Bulletin.
