Dr. Richard Hammer, co-founder of the Nebraska Sports Council/Cornhusker State Games passed away the morning of Wednesday, January 20. We will miss him dearly, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the Hammer family.
 
Below is a link to a bio we put together for Dr. Hammer last summer, and you can view a letter he wrote recalling the beginning of the Sports Council and Cornhusker State Games at the link below. He was a great man.
