Hawk fan/donor in tough battle

[mendoza7]

An uncle of mine, Dale Howard, is in a tough battle with brain cancer - currently in Iowa City for treatment. Prayers would be appreciated!

He's been a big supporter of Hawkeye sports over the years - especially basketball and football, not so much wrestling, though his grandaughter Tracy Wagner has been the wrestling contact in the athletic dept. Several years ago Dale and aunt Marilyn donated big-time for the renovation of CHA (Dale and Marilyn Howard Family Pavilion), which includes the new wrestling training facility.

Cancer stinks. He could not be a better place that the U. Thinking about your family!

Would this be Dale Howard from Iowa Falls? If he is then I have met him quite a few times. We've talked about Iowa Hawkeye Sports numerous times. A fine gentleman.

Yes castille, that's him. Nice that you know uncle Dale, and thanks for your kind words.
