Mr. Ed Wimes

Ed Wimes, former Assistant Vice-President and Director of Human Resources in the Office of the President of the University of Nebraska, was the speaker at Seward Kiwanis this noon. This was the special annual Military Veterans program led by PeeWee Schulz that also included the Kitones singing their "salute" to the 6 branches of Military Service. Mr Wimes was born and raised in Lincoln, graduated from Lincoln High and saw service in VietNam. He was honored recently upon his UN-L retirement with the establishment of a Scholarship in his name at the Malone Center in Lincoln. His message today reflected his childhood, military service and a career in Human Resources. It focused on these words from our Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "Liberty and Justice for All". It was well received by the exceptionally large crowd of Veterans and Kiwanis members. Thanks, PeeWee for an excellent event.
