Retiries: Replogle2, Woodward, Ogg

Rosella Ogg retired in May of 1999. Her dedication as an art educator enriched the lives of innumerable students. Rosella began working at Kansas State University in 1965, teaching evening courses in Design and Art Education. During the following 34 years, she taught drawing, computer imaging and water color painting. Professor Ogg's unselfish service to the department, college and university was unprecedented; of such high quality that a faculty service award was created in her name. This award is a testament to her unique level of dedication. The Rosella Ogg service award will be presented each year to a faculty member in the Department of Art to honor their contribution to the art program at Kansas State University.

Retirement from the Art Department provides Rosella with other opportunities to serve. For example, she hopes to become involved in overseas work and of course will take time to spoil her new granddaughter. We wish Rosella Ogg the very best in the future and will miss her involvement in the Department of Art very much.

Gary Woodward began his college teaching career in 1964 at Wayne State College in Nebraska and in 1971, he became a member of the faculty at Kansas State University. While he served the Department of Art in many ways during his twenty- nine years at K-State, his primary involvement was in the areas of drawing and foundation design.

Gary's contribution to a quality art program at Kansas State University was not
limited to his teaching. In 1980 he served as acting head of the department and held the same position during the summer of 1988. In 1989 Gary was selected to serve a five year term as head of the Department of Art. Under his direction the department made a difficult and complex move to its present location in Willard Hall. Most recently, Professor Woodward brought his dedication to quality programs in the art department by serving as Director of Graduate Studies.

Gary's talent, generosity and personality motivated students and colleagues alike. His creative research has been exhibited in many venues and his contribution to education was recognized in 1984 when he received a Fulbright Teaching Exchange award to Manchester, England. Professor Woodward begins his retirement with the expectation of continuing his contributions to the arts and service organizations. Gary will also do some traveling with his wife, Marilyn.

Both Renata and Rex Replogle ended several years of a phased retirement this spring. They recently completed construction of a new home and studio in Colorado where they will use their new found time to further creative endeavors. Renata Replogle's dedicated service began at Kansas State University in Art Education. In fact, early in her K-State career, she was the art education program. Renata's drive to create and develop strong programs in art eventually led her to recognize a demand for art therapists. Professor Replogle not only envisioned a Pre-Art Therapy concentration meeting needs outside of the university but also saw it as a distinct area of choice for students in the art department. Pre-Art Therapy in the Department of Art is preparation for students wishing to serve in the profession after completing degree work in a masters program.

Professor Replogle's leadership in designing curriculum and serving as head of Pre-Art Therapy represents an important addition to undergraduate education in the Department of Art. Her tireless dedication to serving students and her profession at Kansas State University will be greatly missed.

Rex Replogle began his teaching career at Kansas State University in 1966. Although his undergraduate and graduate education is in Sculpture, Rex also taught metalcraft and jewelry until 1971. Professor Replogle continued teaching in Sculpture and for almost ten years he served as coordinator of that area. Rex's desire to contribute led him to teach in many other
