Robert (Bob) ’64, ’70 and Suzanne ’64 Lervick have always felt a special connection to Bison Athletics. Bob, a Life Trustee at the NDSU Foundation, played baseball and freshman basketball as a student, and he and Suzanne both remember the important role athletics played in the campus culture — even before Bison football gained prominence as a national powerhouse.
