Hello, goodbye

The Stillwater Chamber of Commerce has selected Jace Dawson as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Dawson works at Stillwater National Bank, and will start at the Chamber on Aug. 16. He graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1999.
It's funny how many OSU students stay or leave only to return to Stillwater. A recently completed survey of OSU alumni who graduated between 2004 and 2008 shows many still call Stillwater home. A total of 3,149 surveys were completed. It surprised me to learn that 358 or 11.4 percent lived and worked in Stillwater. Only Tulsa had more 2004-2008 alums living and working there. You can read more about the survey in Sunday's NewsPress.
Writing about alums, OSU lost a great one this week with the death of Bob Fenimore. He put Oklahoma A&M football on the map, and played in the National Football League. Mr. Fenimore was more than a great athlete. He was an outstanding person who helped make Stillwater into the city it is today. He also touched and positively changed the lives of many people. He will be missed.
