Teapots, Stark Center , Health watch , Hattori, Bauerschlag, and CTE

After one of Coach Abe Lemons friends, Frank Glieber, died of a massive heart attack while jogging, Coach said “I don’t jog. If I die, I want to be sick.”

The Stark Center contains a Library, Archive, and Museum, and It is now also the temporary home for the Greg Ploetz lithograph (see the photo below). As of 03/20/2020, there are 285 autographs of former DKR student-athletes, managers, trainers, and Coaches on this artwork.

However, there are still many who qualify whose names are still missing. If you are one of these individuals, please visit the Stark Center on the 5th level of the North End Zone of DKR stadium the next time you visit the campus.

Please call 512-471-4890 before visiting and state the reason for your call to either Cindy Slater or Dr. Jan Todd.

If you have never visited the Stark Center, this would be a perfect time. The Stark Center link is
