EMP-54
Dirk
and Ilse Wouters-Daems
welcomed their second child, Sebastian, on Oct. 10. Sebastian
weighed in at 9 pounds, 7 ounces, and 21 inches.
2004
was a busy year at the Roth household. Ben Roth accepted a new position in January as head of strategic
initiatives at Minnesota Life Insurance Co. in Saint Paul.
The family moved their home in April and welcomed their first
child, Mitchell Benjamin Roth, on Oct. 20.
Rebecca
Liebert left Nova Chemicals in November to join Alcoa. She
was named business unit president, Alcoa KAMA, and will be
based in Hazleton, Pa.
Pete
Dankwerth ran his first
marathon in Phoenix with his dad. His time was 4:43:50, and
upon finishing, he doubled back to run his dad into the finish
line. That's our Pete, always doing more than 100 percent!
The
Dani Golan family
has moved to a zone defense now that the number of kids has
surpassed the number of parents. Dani and his wife were thrilled
to welcome their son Uri on Dec. 14.
Keith
Jossell was accepted
into the Leadership Oklahoma Program, class No. 18. Each year
50 Oklahoma leaders, who represent a wide geographic base
and diverse backgrounds and vocations, are selected to participate.
Individually, they must demonstrate a dedication to Oklahoma's
progress and the ability to exercise leadership in recognizing
and resolving issues of statewide significance. Each class
is exposed to the many social and environmental complexities
of the state in order to stimulate inquiry, analysis and independent
development of solutions for the public good. Class members
meet and talk with Oklahoma's current leaders and explore
the state's opportunities, needs and resources. Based on the
interaction and respect developed during the class year, a
living network is formed — a network capable of identifying,
evaluating and implementing projects of value to the people
of Oklahoma. Today more than 600 graduates of this statewide
leadership development program are carrying out that mission,
including Governor and First Lady Brad and Linda Henry. Given
that the current Oklahoma governor was in class No. 9, we
all should save the date to attend Governor Jossell's inauguration
in nine years! Will Governor Jossell be a Democrat or Republican?
SAVE
THE DATE: The fourth
annual EMP-54 Wisconsin party will coincide with EAA weekend
— July 30-31. Hope you can make it (again) this year!
