Previous inductees include Earl Seaton, Joe Skemp, John Haugan, George Horihan, Ossie Helgerson and Cheryl Moen.

This year, Dick Brostrom and Paul and Judy Ulland have been selected as inductees into this prestigious club.

In 2010, Brostrom was honored by Viterbo with the Alumni Spirit of St. Francis Award.

Paul and Judy Ulland have been enthusiastic supporters of the La Crescent-Hokah School District and the La Crescent community for over 40 years, as they are both members of the La Crescent-Hokah District Foundation Board of Directors.

Paul has initiated and promoted several FIRST Lego and FRC robotics teams in the Coulee Region and has received numerous awards from Lions Club International and Houston County 4-H.
