Joe Hognander Sponsors CSBR Study/Meeting Space

Joe (Orville C. Hognander, Jr.) has pledged $100,000 for a study/meeting space in the business faculty office suite in the Center for Science, Business, and Religion. "I want to do this to honor the memory of my father, Orville C. Hognander, Sr. '36," Joe said.

Orville, Sr., was a successful businessman who built the Tennant Co's marketing organization. When he was just 43, he suffered a major stroke. No longer able to use his dominant hand, he relearned how to write, to walk with the aid of a brace, and to speak. After a recovery period, he resumed his work as vice president and director of the company, retiring in 1973. He was married to Gertrude '36; both are now deceased.
