Award of Appreciation

Karen L. Horny, dean emeritus of library services and professor of library sciences

Lives in: SpringfieldNative of: MichiganYears of service to Missouri State: 1995-2009Education: Bachelor’s degree in French literature, 1965, Brown University; master’s degree in library science, 1966, University of MichiganNotable professional activities: Active in American Library Association, was president for a division of that group, 1980-81; president of the Missouri Library Association, 2007


Award of Appreciation When Karen Horny came to Missouri State in 1995 to lead the library services department, it was an exciting time: Meyer Library was going to be refurbished and doubled in size. She and her co-workers helped the architects create a vision for the building. Her team’s work has proven to be a success, since the library has been flexible in meeting the changing needs of a growing campus. Neosha Mackey, current dean of library services, worked with Horny for 14 years at MSU. “Her input helped shape the design of Meyer Library. Another thing she was really involved in was development. Private giving to the library really grew under her leadership. She’s also just a wonderful person — no one had to worry if she would show up for a talk, presentation or fundraising event that involved a library employee.” Dean Karen, as she was known, also helped Missouri State grow its electronic resources, achieve the honor of being a depository for United Nations documents and enhance the libraries at Missouri State-Mountain Grove and Greenwood Laboratory School.

Talk about your career path.My student job at Brown was in special collections in the library — that’s how I got really interested in this field. During college, I spent a summer working on bookmobiles for the Detroit public library. When I was just out of graduate school I went to work at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. I spent more than 20 years there. In 1995, I saw the ad for the dean of library services position at Missouri State. I have truly enjoyed the work and MSU has been such a wonderful institution.

How does it feel to receive the Award of Appreciation?It was entirely unexpected but a complete thrill. I hope I have been able to do things that have made a positive difference for students, staff and faculty. It makes me feel happy that others think good things have been accomplished.

What do you love about Missouri State?The great people I have been fortunate to know — from students to faculty to alumni to my co-workers. People are loyal to the University and are excited about it. I felt I was welcomed and encouraged and could give encouragement in return.

During your time on campus, the library worked to develop special collections and archives. Talk about those collections.The library can monitor humidity, temperature and other climate factors, so we get to preserve a lot of great materials. Meyer now has musician Gordon McCann’s fiddle-music collection, the Gillioz Theatre archive, late professor Katherine Lederer’s collection of historic photos of local African-American life and other wonderful things from around this area.

What do you do in your leisure time?When I graduated from college, my parents gave me a choice for a present: They would give me a car or a summer in Europe before I started graduate school. I leapt at the summer in Europe! That started my love of travel — I have been to 62 countries.

If you could have one wish granted, what would it be?The library is obviously near and dear to my heart, so I think a really big endowment gift for materials would be wonderful. Let’s shoot for one in the multimillions!

Our Homecoming theme is Rock This Town. What is a rock song that has meaning to you? The first 45-RPM record I ever bought, in any genre, was “Rock around the Clock” by Bill Haley and His Comets. That is still a fond memory for me.


Alumni Award for Excellence in Public Affairs

Jason Hackmann

Lives in: St. Louis, Mo.Educational background: Bachelor’s degree in industrial management, 1999, Missouri State University Professional background: Jason Hackmann began his career at John Hancock Financial Network where he was recognized as one of the top advisors in the nation. He continued his work at Lincoln Advisors, and after successful runs with both companies, he founded his own company: BryanMark Financial Group. At BryanMark, Hackmann and his staff work with ultra-affluent clients ranging from privately held businesses to Forbes 400 individuals.Professional industry recognitions: Hackmann is a member of the Million Dollar Round Table’s Top of the Table, the Estate Planning Council of St. Louis and the Association for Advanced Life Underwriting. BryanMark Financial Group has recently been named an M Member Firm of the prestigious M Financial Group, a network of independent financial services companies that have demonstrated the ability to meet the planning needs of affluent and ultra-affluent clients. Notable awards and honors: Hackmann’s company, BryanMark Financial, was hailed as the St. Louis Business Journal’s fastest growing company in 2008. Hackmann was also named one of the St. Louis Business Journal’s top “40 Under 40.”


Alumni Award for Excellence in Public Affairs Hackmann is the first recipient of Missouri State’s Alumni Award for Excellence in Public

Affairs. The University’s public affairs mission is articulated through three themes: ethical

leadership, cultural competence and community engagement – and Hackmann’s work

embodies all three. He is the founder and owner of BryanMark Financial Group, a successful

St. Louis based financial services company. He and his wife Jennifer have three young

children: Evan, 5, Alexis, 4 and Hadley, 2. Hackmann makes time to follow his passion as

a devoted supporter of the Touch a Life Foundation, an organization dedicated to rescuing

children sold into modern-day slavery in Vietnam, Cambodia and Ghana. The foundation

works to give the rescued children an opportunity to live freely, attend school and learn to

regain hope. Hackmann and his wife are directly involved with rescue work in Ghana, where

children are sold by their parents and forced to labor in the fishing industry on Lake Volta.

On a recent mission, the Hackmanns’ group was able to rescue six children.

Why did you choose to attend Missouri State University?

Honestly, I grew up going to Table Rock Lake and just loved the area!

What do you consider to be your most important professional and personal

accomplishments?

Professionally it’s probably our company, BryanMark Financial Group, growing to be one of

the leaders within our niche industry in a short amount of time. Personally it’s the wonderful

family that my wife and I have, and the work in Ghana helping save child slaves from a life of

hopelessness and despair to having a future. Seeing a child who looks hopeless, and saving

them from that life to helping them form a life of happiness and a bright future, is what life is

all about.

What are some of your fondest memories of Missouri State University?

Definitely meeting my wife, Jennifer, whom I met in a class, and also the friends we made.

If you could have one wish granted what would it be?

That the kids who are in enslaved in Ghana are saved and given the same opportunity that

any of us would want our children to have.

Our Homecoming theme this year is Rock This Town. What is your favorite rock

band or song?

Truly I don’t have one! I’m one of those people that switch the radio station in the car every

two minutes.


David E. Foley

Lives in: Fairfax, Va.Native of: Warrensburg, Mo. Educational background: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, 1997, Missouri State University; master of business administration, 2006, Virginia Tech.Professional accomplishments: Foley is the current deputy commissioner for the Public Buildings Service branch of the U.S. General Services Administration. Prior to his appointment in March 2010, Foley served as the deputy assistant commissioner for Portfolio Management, and in a number of key leadership roles in the Public Buildings Service’s regional offices in Dallas, Kansas City and Atlanta. Family: Foley is married to April Foley and they have a 3-year-old son, Brendan.

Outstanding Young Alumni Award


Outstanding Young Alumni Award David Foley has worked for the U.S. General Services Administration since his graduation from Missouri State in 1997, and now at age 35 he is serving as the deputy commissioner of the Public Buildings Service, making him the agency’s chief operating officer, for a $9 billion real estate business with more than 360 million square feet of space. Foley first began working at GSA as a result of a successful interview arranged through Missouri State’s Career Center. Since then he worked at regional offices in Kansas City, Dallas and Atlanta doing portfolio and assessment management. He served as the deputy assistant commissioner for Portfolio Management in Washington D.C. Currently, Foley is responsible for project delivery and real estate acquisition, as well as maintaining a unified organizational structure and managing relationships with major customers. One of Foley’s former Missouri State professors, James Giglio, says he remembers Foley well. “I remember him as an honors student in a U.S. history class, he was one of the top students,” Giglio said. “He was a gentleman and such a nice person. That, in addition to his ability to do well in the classroom, is what made him so special.”

How does if feel to receive this award?It’s a great honor; I’m still shocked that I was even nominated. To look at all the great people who have graduated from this University, and to think I’ve won is such a great privilege. I hope that I can live up to the honor.

What are some of your fondest memories of Missouri State?I really loved my time there; it was a great four years! I made a lot of close personal friends during that time. I lived in Freddy for two years and made a lot of friends there. I participated in the Missouri London program, which was a tremendous opportunity to spend some time overseas and learn about the business environment outside the United States. I also played the French horn in the Pride Marching Band for four years and made a lot of great memories through that.

Why did you choose to come to school at MSU?I grew up in Warrensburg, Mo., so at the time I was looking for schools within Missouri. I looked at MSU and Mizzou, but it was the tour of campus and meeting all the people that made me decide on MSU. Plus, I was also interested in the band and the Honors College. Missouri State offered both academics and a social side. Plus, Springfield is a great town.

How do you stay connected to Missouri State?I haven’t been able to stay as connected as much as I would really like to. I keep up with the University and the Bears from afar. I like to watch the Bears basketball games on TV or listen to them over the Internet. When I make it back to Missouri, I’ve tried to make it down to Springfield to catch a football game.


Outstanding Alumni Award

Arthur D. Hurtado

Lives in: Fairfax, Va.Education: Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, 1969, Missouri State University; master’s in electrical engineering, 1978, New Mexico State UniversityProfessional background: Hurtado served 26 years with the U.S. Army, commanding at various tactical levels overseas and in combat. He played an integral role in the development of critical defense weaponry for the U.S. military. He has served on numerous boards of institutions of higher education and is currently pursuing a master’s of theology through Capital Bible Seminary, located in the D.C. area. In 1999, Hurtado co-founded Invertix Corporation, of which he is currently chairman and chief executive officer. Family: His wife, Dianna, is a clinical psychotherapist. They have a daughter, Alison Yun, and a grandson, Jonathan Yun.


Outstanding Alumni Award Art Hurtado is a scientist, engineer and decorated Army colonel who has dedicated a good portion of his career to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies. He now runs Invertix Corporation, which focuses on those three areas. The company has been repeatedly honored as a top government contractor and emerging business. Hurtado is a former Cadet Corps Commander of Missouri State’s Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) Brigade, and was a Most Outstanding Distinguished Military Graduate. He has supported the University’s ROTC as well as its chemistry department over the years because those programs led him to his current vocation. Hurtado was a charter member of Missouri State’s Chemistry Advisory Board and is still active on the board. In 2009, he and his wife, Dianna, established an endowed scholarship to benefit chemistry and ROTC students. In 2004, he also re-established the MSU alumni association in the greater Washington, D.C. area.

How does it feel to receive this award?It was breathtaking, that was my first reaction — absolutely breathtaking. My second emotion was one of deep humility because I recognize what sterling accomplishments the people who have preceded me in receiving this award have had … it was just very humbling. I feel very honored.

How do you think Missouri State helped you succeed? It built character. You can’t be in a chemistry program and not learn character, and you can’t be in an ROTC program and not learn leadership. The chemistry program taught me I could take on any intellectual challenge that was put before me. It gave me a tremendous foundation.

Are you in the career you thought you would pursue when you were at Missouri State? I wanted to be a soldier, and I did that. I wanted to start my own business, and I’ve done that. After I retired from the military, I went into industry and tried to figure out how running a business feels. Now, in starting my own business, I really feel like that old saying about work and play merging. Phase three of my career ambitions is to do translations of theological works and maybe do some teaching, and spend a lot more time with my wife and family.

Tell me some of your fondest memories of Missouri State University.I remember working in the chemistry labs late, late at night. I remember the crisp fall days and the beautiful colors and rooting the Bears teams on to victory. I remember sitting in the former student union building and working on physical chemistry problems while drinking too much coffee. I recall going fishing on the James River. Springfield to me is just a wonderful memory. Those were my formative years and Missourians are just true-blue, wonderful, wonderful people.

What do you consider your most important personal accomplishment? Marrying Dianna. This woman is the wind beneath my wings. She’s my best counselor, every bit my soul mate and my humility-control officer. The next on the list is that I havea grandson.


Lifetime Achievement Award

William H. and Virginia (Ralls) Darr

Live in: SpringfieldEducation: Virginia received a bachelor’s degree in education in 1954 from Missouri State and a master’s in education from Drury University in 1974. Bill, who went to Korea with the U.S. Army in the early 1950s, earned a bachelor’s in agriculture from Missouri State in 1957. Professional background: Virginia was a teacher in California and Arkansas, then spent many years teaching in Springfield public schools. Bill is the founder of American Dehydrated Foods Inc., International Dehydrated Foods Inc. and Food Ingredients Technology Company LLC, businesses that make ingredients for the food and pet-food industries. Service to Missouri State: Bill has served on the Board of Governors and is a past president of the Missouri State University Foundation. He was the co-chair of the University’s first comprehensive fundraising effort, “The Campaign for SMS: Imagine the Possibilities,” which concluded in 2005 by exceeding its goal of $50 million.Past recognition from Missouri State: In 1995, Bill received the Outstanding Alumni Award. In 2003, the Darrs received the Bronze Bear Award in recognition of their outstanding support. Gifts to Missouri State: There are too many to list: The Darrs have a long history of supporting the Springfield, Mountain Grove and West Plains campuses. They have helped MSU build and renovate facilities. They have contributed to academic departments. They have supported everything from athletics to the arts, from libraries to campus landmarks. The Darrs are especially known for their support of agriculture and small-town students (they established scholarships for students from their hometown). In 2000, Missouri State renamed the agriculture research facility on Kansas Expressway the William H. Darr Agricultural Center. In 2009, the University named an entire academic unit in recognition of the couple’s contributions — the William H. Darr School of Agriculture.


Lifetime Achievement Award The Darrs’ private support has helped Missouri State in enormous ways. Bill and Virginia both grew up in the small town of Ellington, Mo. — in fact, Virginia’s father, a doctor, delivered Bill. They dated in high school and both attended Missouri State, but each married someone else. Years later they reconnected. “He called me for dinner, and that was it,” Virginia said — they just knew they were going to be together. They married in 1988. Between them the couple has four children and six grandchildren. Many of their family members — including children, siblings, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews — have attended Missouri State. “The Darrs are just wonderful people,” said Julie Ebersold, executive director of alumni relations. “They care so much about the University — they even get to know many of their scholarship recipients.” Virginia says they simply want to give back: “We’re just a couple of country kids who got an education and benefited from it.”

How does it feel to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award?Virginia: You know what my first thought was? You have to be really old to get this. (Both of them crack up laughing.) No, we’re very honored. Bill: It is wonderful and I see it as something very special.

What are some of your favorite memories from your time on campus?V: I was in a sorority (Pi Kappa Sigma, which is now Sigma Kappa) and I made lifelong friends. Homecoming was always hectic because we would make a float. I also remember there was a Christmas dance with a candlelight service afterwards. B: When I graduated there were fewer than 3,000 students in the whole school and it was easy to get to know many of them. I mostly remember the friendships I established that I still have today.

How do you stay connected to campus?V: We go to a lot of events. We go to football and basketball games and we’re supporters of the Pride Band.

What do you do in your leisure time?V: We spend time in Florida during the winter. While we’re there we go shopping and eat — we know every good restaurant! B: We go to Branson occasionally to see some of the shows. We especially like The Presleys, Shoji Tabuchi and Andy Williams.

What is the one message you would like to give to the Missouri State community?B: When you have the opportunity, please give back. You should read some of the letters we get from our scholarship recipients. V: These are top students in small schools but their parents might need help in sending them to school. I always think about what their lives would be like if they couldn’t get the education to go out and do what they are capable of doing.
