This week, Don “DA” Armstrong ’77 is chairing the Northwestern Mutual Annual Meeting in Milwaukee. This is a big deal as the event includes 10,000 people from across the country, comprising members of Northwestern Mutual and their families.
Congratulations, DA!!
Just heard that Matt Dixon ’11 has been awarded the J.D. Sinnock Michigan Law Scholarship which is awarded each year to a University of Michigan second year law student. It’s made in honor of J.D. Sinnock ’86 who was tragically killed in an automobile accident by a drunk driver shortly after graduating from Michigan Law School in 1989. This is the first time that a Gamma Zeta has won the Sinnock Law Scholarship. Both J.D. and Matt are former Gamma Zeta Worthy Masters. Congrats Matt!!
