Become Part of the Trinity Campus Gift and Naming Opportunity Twelve decorative benches adorn our campus. These highly-visible benches come in handy for students waiting for rides or anyone just looking for a place to relax. For donors who wish to make a gift to the school, we are offering the opportunity to have an engraved plaque affixed to a bench. The engraved plaque (2”x10”) provides up to three lines with up to 40 characters per line. The school will work with the donor to create an appropriate inscription. It could be for an individual (e.g. in mem- ory of or in honor of ), a family, group (e.g. Class of 19__) or a business. This naming opportunity is available for $1,500 per bench. There are 11 existing locations which can be claimed: 3 in Alumni Courtyard (in front of the faculty house), 5 on the plaza north of Alumni Hall, 2 in front of Shamrock Hall and 1 in front of the Marshall Center.

Brohm ’04 Named All-American

University of Louisville quarterback and Trinity alumnus Brian Brohm ’04 was named a pre-season All-American in April. “I’m excited to be chosen,” Brohm told The Courier-Journal. “It kind of rec- ognizes what I’ve done in the past, and it’s nice to get that recognition. But I still have to go out there and prove it again this year.” A three-year starter, Brohm has thrown for 6,751 yards and 41 touch- downs in his career at U of L. He is fourth in school history in passing yards and touchdowns and is the school’s record-holder in completion percentage (.663). He threw for 3,049 yards and 16 touchdowns last season and was named MVP in the Cardinals’ 24-13 Orange Bowl victory over Wake Forest. Brohm flew to Arizona in May for a photo shoot with the rest of the All- American team. n

Then in his family’s oil distribution business, Freibert bought tree-covered Indiana land first — in 1985 — strictly as an investment. “I figured it would be fun and I’d make a little bit of money,” he said. Freibert initially couldn’t tell a beech from a white oak. He did assume growing trees ultimately isn’t dramatically different from growing, yes, veggies. “The only difference being time,” he said. He learned much more in the woods than in seminars. When he flubbed, he tried again, determined to do better. He asked experts for secrets, receiving few except from Stump. “I had to find out the secrets myself,” Freibert said. By 2000, Freibert was managing his woods full time.

One of “Growing up I enjoyed military history, and I figured the things that Trinity taught Diebold that he values most is leadership skills. Such skills are essential in the military, and Diebold believes Trinity helped him create his qualities as a leader. “Trinity provided the foundation for my leadership style,” Diebold said. “I was involved in Student Council where I learned a great deal about forming a consensus, as well as project management, relating to both peers and superiors, and creating a vision.” Like any soldier serving in a foreign land, Diebold experiences longing for home. “I miss the variety of daily life,” he said. “Each day in Iraq is the same as any other. I miss the challenging environment of graduate school and my previous cor- porate job. I miss maximizing my contribution to the organization and mission. Naturally, I miss my family and friends.” The yearning for home is one thing a soldier must deal with while serving overseas. Diebold, like many servicemen and women, experiences boredom and must find a way to fill his time. “I read, work out, run, stay in touch with friends and family by e-mail, and even watch TV,” Diebold said. “I also still keep in touch with Trinity teachers Trinity alumnus Anthony Diebold ’96 and classmates.” Like many currently serving in Iraq, the issue of is serving his second tour of duty in whether or not American troops should be in Iraq and Afghanistan is a big question.
