CSU Alumni Stories
Honoring a Fallen Hero of Flight 93 by Helping Young Aviators
On September 11, 2001, Jason Dahl was one of the pilots on United Flight 93, whose courageous passengers and crew thwarted a terrorist attack. The plane crashed outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all on board. National tragedies touch us all, and sometimes we discover people with intimate connections to those events close to home. Steve Jacques (B.S., ’74) is one of them.
Outfitted for Success
Camie Haskins (B.S., ’05) returned to the Colorado mountain community she grew up in after graduating from Colorado State University. There, she and her husband, Casey, built a quintessentially rugged Western business and life.
Preserving Presidential History
Where does one go to find information on President Herbert Hoover for a paper in history class or to learn the origins of a government program or agency from that era? An extraordinary number of people seeking similar information communicate with Lynn Smith, (M.A. , ’91), the audiovisual archivist at the Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch, Iowa.
Happy New Year
