Wedding bells rang on June 8 for Carly Raska, Class 34, who married Rob Schoepflin. Carly works for U of I CALS Development and Rob is a pilot. The Schoepflins will make their home in Palouse.
 
Congratulations to Kim O’Neill Anderson, Class 27, who was recently presented the Ray A.

Kim serves as assistant to the Dean at U of I CALS.
 
Our deepest sympathy is extended to Steve Bateman, Class 11, in the passing of his wife, Cathe. Steve and Cathe were married for 41 years and for most of those years worked together in the grass seed industry in the Nezperce area.

Thanks to many LIA alumni who were presenters at these educational activities for teachers - Zack Zacharisen, Class 17; Lance Hedler, Class 35; Jim Miller, Class 29; Katherine O’Brien, Class 20; Joe Farmer, Class 35; Luke Erickson, Class 29; Buck Boyer, Class 29; Paul Brusven, Class 21; Doug McIntosh, Class 19; Art McIntosh, Class 31; Joe Stewart, Class 16; Brett Lolley, Class 28; and Mike Thornton, Class 12.  They are all true advocates for agriculture who took time from their daily responsibilities to help the teachers learn more about Idaho agriculture.
