Journal entry by Al Negstad — a minute ago
Augustana University honored Joanne at the December 8, 2018 meeting of the Board of Trustees with a resolution of respect. (See attachment below.)
"WHEREAS, Joanne Negstad faithfully served Augustan University as a faculty member, a house mother at East Hall, the student activities director from 1962 to 1964, a member of the Board of Trustees from 1976 to 1983, dutifully served as a member of the Trustees Society from 1983 until the time of her death, and always held the University's bes interests close to he heart; and....
"WHEREAS, while an extraordinary individual in the life of Augustan University has left us, we will always remember Joanne and her remarkable leadership, unwavering commitment to the University, long-standing friendship and magnificent generosity with profound gratitude and deepest respect.
"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of Augustan University gather together this 8th day of December, 218, to record its gratitude for the many gifts and services of our dear friend, Joanne Negstad, and expresses its deepest sorrow and sense of loss in her death; and
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution will become part of the offical minutes of the Board, with a copy presented to her beloved husband, Allan."
Signed by the Board Chairman.
It's all beautifully done, enclosed in a fancy folder similar to a diploma and accompanied by a personal, hand written letter from the president. It's well deserved and I'm grateful that she is remembered in this way.
Blessings,
Al
