About Diane

Hometown: Omaha, Neb. (Home of the Westside Warriors)
Favorite ISU tradition: I love the swans. My husband and I have had season football tickets since 1975, so we are experienced tailgaters.
Favorite food: Seared Ahi tuna -- and a zillion or so other things
What I like about my job: Great people to work with on a beautiful campus
In my spare time, I like to: Golf, do needlework, add to my collection of bears or angels or handmade marbles, have dinner with friends, take pictures of old buildings
Something unique that most people don't know about me: My first job was giving guitar lessons. When I was in second grade I wanted to be a nun. I met Olympics triple gold medal skier Jean Claude Kelly when I was skiing in Breckenridge in 1972.
