2009 Family of the Year Award
The Whiteman Smith
Thirteen members of Frank Whiteman’s
family tree attended Monmouth College, including four children who
enrolled in the classes of 1927 through 1930. The first of that group
was Wendell Whiteman and, like his father, Wendell also sent his
children to Monmouth, with three sons graduating. Whiteman family
members have served a total of 35 years on the college’s board of
trustees and received two Distinguished Service awards. Gifts from the
family have funded the Hall of Achievement, the Whiteman Memorial
Lecture series and seven scholarships. Family members who attended the
ceremony were Barbara Whiteman Garland ’49, Don Whiteman ’49, Ralph
Whiteman ’52, Dick Whiteman ’64, Harriett Southerlan Whiteman ’65 and
Dave Whiteman ’66.
“Much of their time, talents and treasures have been given on behalf
of Monmouth College, and this place would not be the same without
them,” said Ditzler.
