Tribute to Seidman set

The family of Grand Valley's founder, L. William Seidman, and the Trustees of the University extend an invitation to join them on Friday, September 11 to celebrate his life and accomplishments. This memorial service -- to take place on the Allendale campus -- will be the only opportunity to mourn Bill's passing, which occurred in May.

The service will he held at The Performing Arts Center (Louis Armstrong Theatre) at 3 p.m.  Bill's wife Sally and their children will be here and attendees will have an opportunity to greet them at a reception in Kirkhof Center following the memorial.

"It is fair to say that without Bill Seidman there would be no Grand Valley," said Grand Valley President Thomas J. Haas.  "He took enormous pride in GVSU, and I know his family will be comforted by our participation in this service on the campus of the university that he considered his greatest professional accomplishment."
