~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obituary The Oread, February 19, 1999 Lawrence, Douglas county, Kansas USA Neva E. ENTRIKIN Neva E. ENTRIKIN, 66, died Aug.1 The former office supervisor for KU's Spencer Museum of Art, ENTRIKIN resigned in 1992 to run for a seat in the Kansas House. At that time, state law said that classified state employees - including accountants, secretaries, custodians, police and clerical workers - had to resign their jobs if they sought public office with the state, although unclassified employees did not. The Legislature later changed that law, and ENTRIKIN was part of that effort. ENTRIKIN began working at KU in October 1976. In 1987 she was appointed to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System's board of directors by then-Gov. Mike HAYDEN. She earned a bachelor's degree in personnel administration from KU and also did graduate work. She was a member of Leadership Lawrence, the League of Women Voters and the University Place Neighborhood Association. Survivors include her husband, Max, of the home; two daughters, Laurie PLUMMER, Ontario, Ore., and Lynne SEYB, Littleton, Colo.; three sons, Rob ORESKOVICH, Temperance, Mich., Bo ORESKOVICH, Ohio; two brothers; two sisters; and seven grandchildren. Memorial contributions may be made to Lawrence Habitat for Humanity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __________________________________________________________________ I think my new thing will be to try to be a real happy guy.
