"Northwest's student publications are very special to us. We met our freshman year working for the Northwest Missourian, and we later worked together on the Tower yearbook. As a freshman, Dave had received one of Opal Eckert's scholarships, and that was a big deal. We know it's hard for students to pay for college today, so we'd like to help. Taking out a life insurance policy when we were young was the best way for us to make a substantial gift to Northwest. We are proud to be leaving a lasting legacy to the place that shaped our lives so much."
