Dan Trainer was in the front row last month when they named a building for him. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s College of Natural Resources building bears his name today, in honor of the man who oversaw the process of building the largest undergraduate natural resources college in the country.
Hundreds were on hand to congratulate Trainer and his wife, Betty. No one will regret being there, especially since Trainer died in his sleep over the weekend. He was 81.
