A Christian Brother who taught at De La Salle in the late 1960s, Hentzen left the Christian Brothers and spent several years as a missionary in Central and South America. In 1981, Hentzen, his brothers Bud and Jim, and a good friend Jerry Tolle, founded the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging, an organization that helps feed, clothe and educate children and elderly persons living in 23 developing nations around the world.

What started out with only two small projects in Honduras and the Philippines, has grown to include over 66,000 donors who sponsor a child or an elderly person — usually for $20 a month — to help provide these less-privileged individuals with the basic necessities of life: food, medical care, clothing, housing and education.

In 1996, when he reached his 60th birthday, Hentzen walked from Kansas City, Mo., to Guatemala, a distance of 4,000 miles and approximately eight million footsteps. The purpose of the walk was to emphasize that the poor people in Central and South America spend their whole life walking — it is their only means of travel — and he wished to honor those people by traveling in their footsteps. The walk took Hentzen eight months and now, he and his family live among the poor in San Lucas, Toliman, Guatemala.

Truhlar graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. degree in chemistry from Saint Mary’s in 1965, and received a Ph.D. in chemistry from California Institute of Technology in 1970. He joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota in 1970 and has been the director of the university's supercomputer institute since 1988.

His many accomplishments include, in collaboration with chemistry professor Donald J. Kouri of the University of Houston, the first accurate calculation of the cross-section of a chemical reaction and the first accurate calculation of reaction probabilities for a vibrationally excited system. He is also responsible for developing the variational transition-state theory (VTST) into a readily accessible tool that accurately predicts reaction paths, rate constants, and kinetic isotope effects for many chemical problems.

Although his focus is on chemical dynamics, Truhlar has made contributions to a wide range of other theoretical and computational areas, including electronic structure theory and solvation.

The 14th-most cited chemist in the world between 1981 and 1997, Truhlar is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has served as an associate editor for the Journal of the American Chemical Society since 1984 and as editor of Theoretical Chemistry Accounts from 1985-1998. He has also served on the editorial boards of Computer Physics Communications, the Journal of Chemical Physics, Chemical Physics Letters and the Journal of Physical Chemistry, among others. Truhlar has published more than 550 journal articles, 65 book chapters and 14 computer programs.

Named a Saint Mary’s University Distinguished Alumnus in 1990, Allen received several honors during his 30-plus years in the cable television industry, including the distinguished Vanguard Award (cable TV’s most prestigious award), and Cable Television Business Magazine named Allen “Executive of the Year” twice, in 1985 and again in 1991.

Allen built and operated two of the first major broadband cable systems in the country in Winona and La Crosse, Wis., and, in 1979 became one of the original founders of C-SPAN (Cable Satellite Public Affairs Network).

Allen, who was a charter member of C-SPAN’s board of directors, served on the board from 1979-1991 and served as C-SPAN’s national chairman from 1982-1984.
