TRUE HAWKEYE FAN

 

Brenda and FriendSubmitted by:

Brenda Walkner has been with REM Iowa Community Services since April 2000.  Brenda is a HUGE Iowa Hawkeyes fan, and she jumped at the chance to attend a day at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City to meet some of the Hawkeye football players and coaching staff in an event sponsored by Camp Courageous.  Brenda was accompanied by Jen Uthoff, Program Coordinator.  Brenda's favorite part of the trip was "meeting all of the Hawkeyes!"

 

Brenda has been a big supporter of Iowa Athletics in the past, most recently attending an Iowa Basketball game this past winter.  She hopes to attend more sporting events in the upcoming year.  Brenda answered a few questions to give a little more insight about herself…

Oh, and MVF? Why,"Most Valuable Fan", of course.
