Coordinators for the Galena event are: Mike Davis, senior vice president for alumni programs; Heath Peterson, director of Kansas programs; Danny Lewis, assistant director for alumni programs; and Ochoa. Alumni association staff will arrive with the signature KU trailer full of grills, burgers and brats for the festivities.
