How two Kentucky farmers became manufacturers with a little help from UK When you work with wool, you expect a few snags now and then. But when two first-time inventors set out on the road to manufacture a new kind of wool processing machine, the snags multiplied. It’s what they call a “learning experience.” Or, as Lanette Freitag and Don Bowles put it: “Every time you think you’re there, you’re not there yet.”

Luckily, you can also encounter some great assistance on that road to get you there at last.

For example, UK’s Center for Manufacturing, where Tom Henninger used computer-aided design to help the couple re-design their machine, the FeltLOOM™, to be lighter, less expensive and easier to use. UK also built them three prototypes and provided them with a bill of materials, and the engineering and assembly drawings they needed to go into production.

“For us,” the brand-new manufacturers say, ”UK’s help was crucial and invaluable.”

Have a product design you need help with? We won’t pull the wool over your eyes.

What’s Your Story?

In the weeks before a new academic year begins, alumni clubs around the country host send-off parties for students in their area that are headed to UK. It’s a great opportunity for the new stu - dents to get last minute questions answered by staff from the Office of Admission and meet with fellow students who have some good experience to pass on. Of course, there is always an alumni story or two to be heard. Our cover story about Brian Cury who has cameras around the world, led us to the thought of collecting some “snapshots” of our own from you. In this issue on page 20, we hope to stir up a bit of nostalgia when you look at some of the beautiful pictures from the latest book about UK, “see blue .” ere’s also a fun quiz about UK on pages 18 and 19. What’s your story? For starters: • With a new school year underway, what advice do you wish someone had given you as a freshman? • What ten things would you tell a student they must do while at UK? Study more and party less; sit on the lap of the statue of UK’s first president, James W. Patterson; climb the wall in the Johnson Center; participate in DanceBlue; go to ball games while you can get good, cheap seats? • When you recall your days at UK, what do you see? e wide stairway in Jewell Hall leading up to the dorm rooms; the King Library stacks; the Memorial Hall tower; carrot cake from the UK Student Center; the cannon in front of the Main Building? • When you recall UK who do you see? For me it is journalism professors Bruce Wesley, J.A. McCauley, Jack Wild and Niel Plummer along with others like Nicholas Pisacano, Ben Black and omas D. Clark. • Why did you choose to come to UK? Reputation of a particular professor in your major; a parent or family member who came here; your best friend was coming here; the price was right; the distance from home was right; you received financial aid; the color, Kentucky blue, looks good on you? Send your favorites to me at the UK Alumni Association, King Alumni House, Lexington, KY 40506 or e-mail [email protected]. Send a copy of a photo or two as well for the alumni archives. We will use a few in an upcoming Kentucky Alumni magazine. Check out Homecoming (for everyone!), the Golden Wildcat Society Reunion (inducting the Class of 1958), and a 1968 40th year reunion.

“If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things om that person’s angle as well as om your own.” – Henry Ford

I think it’s always healthy for an organization to step back and analyze how it has been serving its customers/constituents. Over the years, I discovered that the most successful organizations — those that grow, thrive and continue to compete in an ever-changing global economy — are constantly working to make sure they provide the best and most effective service to their customers. During the summer, I did a great deal of thinking about how the University of Ken - tucky can better serve the people of Kentucky. I realized that our students, faculty and staff are engaged in many projects that are improving lives across the state, but I have not spent enough time touting their efforts. Over the coming year, I will use this space to fea - ture our innovative students, faculty and staff who are working to change conditions across the Commonwealth, the nation and the world. As we welcome our newest members of the UK family to campus this fall, I want to take a moment to tell you about a pair of our recent graduates. Ryan Quarles, a second-year law student at the UK College of Law, has been awarded the Zuckerman Fel - lowship from Harvard University. Only 25 are awarded annually and are geared toward students entering public service who are pursuing a professional degree along with one of Harvard’s education, public health or government programs. Ryan will pursue a graduate degree in higher education, focusing on postsecondary legal and funding issues as well as other contemporary topics. e fellowship gives him the opportunity to take classes at Harvard Law School and the John F. Kennedy School of Govern - ment. Ryan is from Georgetown, where he grew up on his family farm. He completed a triple-major undergraduate degree at UK, a master’s degree in diplomacy from the Patterson School, and a master’s degree in agricultural economics from the College of Agriculture. Another top UK scholar, Whitley County’s Andrew Lynch, will take what he learned at UK to another of the world’s premier universities. Andrew established himself as one of the nation’s top scholars while earning his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering at UK by being named a Beckman, Udall, Goldwater, and Astronaut Scholar. To top it off, Andrew was named UK’s first-ever Gates Cambridge Scholar last spring. He received one of only 45 scholarships from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which will allow him to pursue his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Cambridge University in England. Both students are great examples of the type of talent that exists in this state and the type of top-notch students that are choos - ing to come to the University of Kentucky. Ryan and Andrew also are ideal role models for our incoming freshmen, as they show our students what worldwide opportunities await them if they succeed here at UK. I hope you, too, share these UK success stories with your friends, family and neighbors. Our alumni are oen our best ambas - sadors and student recruiters, and I hope you will help us share your UK experience with a new generation of upcoming alumni.

Sincerely,

Lee T. Todd Jr. President

Success quickly followed — he led all rookies with 19.2 points per game, set seven Mavericks rookie records, and was named to the NBA’s All-Rookie Team. He is the third-youngest player to score 50 points in an NBA game and went on to break several franchise records. He was traded to the Miami Heat in the middle of the 1996-97 season, then to the Char - lotte (formerly New Orleans) Hornets in 2000. He became a leader of a young team, eventually earning an All-Star bid in 2003. Injuries plagued Mashburn during the 2003-04 season. An injury to his right knee forced him to sit out the 2004-05 season. He was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2005, but never played for the team due to the knee injury.

Olmstead, who earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from UK in 1966 and a master’s in guidance counseling in 1968, took the idea she had to help people excel Janie Olmstead and grew it into a respected businesses for training individuals who want to pursue a print, film, or stage career. Her company won numerous awards, including Interna - tional Modeling School of the Year in 1994, 1995 and 1996 from the International Modeling & Talent Association. Images was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1997. She grew up in New Castle (Henry County), back then a small town of only 700 people, where her father was mayor. “He won by one vote one year,” she said. As a teen, she took modeling classes with Ruth Devine who was with the Alix Adams Agency in Louisville.

Olmstead was a school teacher and a guidance counselor in Virginia and Ken - tucky. When she and her late husband were living in Frankfort, she started her model - ing school for teens and young adults in a dance studio she rented over a bakery. “I wanted my students to learn self-confi - dence,” she said. “I sat down one night and wrote a curriculum and then I borrowed $500 from Farmers Bank to get started.” She eventually moved the business to Lexington, employing several full-time staff members and 10 part-time instructors who also train aspiring models and actors in such things as poise, voice and makeup. Pupils work as advertising models, but sev - eral have gained even more recognition, like Farah Fath, who plays Gigi on “One Life to Live,” and Jeremy Sumpter, a boy who played Peter Pan in the 2003 movie. Olmstead doesn’t equate television shows like “America’s Next Top Model” to the same type of education her school provides to develop professionals. “ey want quirky characters on the show, even combative personalities,” she said.
