Delise Rohret and her husband Dave went Colorado to her 40th United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) reunion last week. They were thoughtful enough to take The Menard News on their trip. Delise is pictured above in front of her former USAFA dormitory. Thanks for having us along, Delise and Dave!

CALLED UP- Freshman Yellowjacket Dario Gonzales stepped up big last Friday in his first ever varsity appearance. The consistent kicker is a part of the high-scoring, record-breaking JV squad of underclassmen. He has been called up to fill the kicking position on Friday nights, and had a respectable first showing, recording four of six on extra points kicks. Gonzales was also bestowed the 'Psycho' award, which goes to the special teams player of the week. Nora Davis, photo.
