    Banquet Honors Leonard Medal Posthumous Recipient Dr. John Utgaard - It is with deep sadness that we note the passing on September 8, 2009, of Dr. John Utgaard, this year's recipient of the Arthur Gray Leonard Award. John had been informed of his selection as the Leonard Medal recipient and was very proud of the honor. We will present a tribute to him at the Leonard Banquet and request that any friends or former classmates share their remembrances. Those who cannot attend the banquet and wish to share remembrances can contact Carissa Green at 701-777-2248, or at carissagreen@mail.und.nodak.edu.
