UNO alumni life and career updates by class year

VIEW BY DECADE

Bob Lindseth, BGS 68

Bob and his contributions to the Space Race in the 1960s are featured in The Washington Times. Writer Ryan Lovelace detailed Lindseth’s involvement in experiments that tested the human body’s ability to endure the conditions of space travel. Lindseth underwent experiments on a tilt table and a centrifuge, that tested the effects of zero gravity on the human body. After these trials, Lindseth and other participants were forced into a period of bedrest, during which Lindseth lost 87 pounds. Despite these experiments effecting his heart and health greatly, today Col. Lindseth is still very proud of the part he played in helping get America to space. ‘Space guinea pig’ reveals U.S. government’s hidden human experiments to reach the moon – The Washington Times  

Gunnar Dahl, BGE 66

Gunnar earned his degree via the Operation Bootstrap program. He was in the Air Force at the time. Dahl later went on to earn an MA in Economics from Stony Brook University in New York. He worked in the insurance industry in claims management, prior to his retirement in 2008. He has lived in Richmond, VA since 1977.

KEITH BAILEY, MS 62

“At my age, every day is a blessing. I walk a couple miles a day, do some pushups daily (100). I noodle around on my computer, drive to town for coffee 4-5 mornings a week. Follow college football and basketball. I really enjoyed Olympic track and field plus women’s gymnastics. I really enjoyed my time at UNO and being mentored by Dr. Paul Kennedy.”
