Daniel M. Banz, '57, has long been a supporter of the Boys Town National Association.  Banz has crafted hundreds of pens made from the oak flooring in the Father Flanagan House that have been given to new Lifetime Members over the years.  He is making his last 100 pens for the 100th Anniversary convention in 2017.  In addition to making the many pens he has donated, he and his wife, Sieglinde, have made lapel buttons for previous reunions.  They are frequent visitors to the Alumni Office traveling from their home in Kansas.
 

Banz has donated his pen making equipment to the Boys Town High School Career Center so that today's youth can learn a hobby and skill for use later in life.
 

Banz is a Lifetime Member of the Boys Town National Alumni Association and is highly deserving of this recognition.
