July 3, 2011

July 3, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — "Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has awarded retired doctor Roy K. Hunteman, M.D., with the Distinguished Hoosier Award, which is given to Indiana residents who have excelled in their fields," begins an article in Greencastle's Banner-Graphic. "Dr. Hunteman, who now resides in Richmond, is a 1963 graduate of DePauw, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He was also a Rector Scholar at DePauw."

The photo accompanying the story (and seen at the top of this summary) shows Indiana State Representative Jim Baird presenting the award to Dr. Hunteman in Holton Memorial Quadrangle.

The text details how, after graduating from DePauw, Hunteman earned a degree from the Indiana University School of Medicine, served with distinction as a U.S. Army captain during the Vietnam war, and returned to a long and distinguished career in medicine.  He also co-founded Friends of the Battered for Women and Children, which is now known as the Genesis Shelter for Women, and dedicated himself to service projects. In 2000, Dr. Hunteman  received the Distinguished Public Service Award from the Indiana Academy of Family Medicine.
