Gaylord Street Center Loses Craig hundred percent into every- thing she did, said student Kristiina Hintgen. She died during the fall quarter of her junior year, on October 3, 1982, following a short il- lness involving a congenital heart condition. Craigls involvements at the University of Denver were many. J erri Lou Craig always put one Craig was appointed director in Spring of 1982 of the Gaylord Street Center, an on-campus volunteer organization which counsels students with general life problems. She had been working with the center since the spring of 1981. ilJerri was a wonderful counselor and a confident director. We all learned from her determination and her warmth. Her strong will was con- tagious and the entire staff at the Gaylord Street Center has ex- perienced both a great gain from her presence and a great loss in her death? said Mike Hutchinson, who became director of the center after Craigls death. ltJerri was a wonderful student. She particularly liked Shakespeare's heroines in the great comedies and, like them, she was always full of vitality, full of life. She reminded me of Rosalind, always sparkling with fun, often with mischief; I never saw anyone who seemed to get so much out of living, said Dr. Bob Richard- son of the English department. Craig was an Honors Program Student and a Boettcher Scholar. She was selected one of the out- standing Sophomores for 1981-82 She was a member of premedical honorary Alpha Epsilon Delta, and Talarians, the Junior honorary. Craig was active in her hometown community, Colorado Springs. The Springs knew her well because of her commercials and community in- volvements. She was known most recently as the Bushwacker Girl in local television commercials for Bushwacker Western Wear. She was a lifetime resident of Colorado Springs. She was selected Miss Col- orado National Teenager for 1980-81 and was among the top ten national finalists. Graduating from Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, she was involved in many activities including 4-H, National Honor Society, National Forensics Society, the Spanish Club, Yearbook Staff, and was class president her Sophomore and Junior years. llShe never knew at any given mo- ment when her heart would give out, so she always did the best she could in everything? said Hintgen. llJerrils tragic death cautions each of us not to neglect the present while we prepare for the future. Our remembrances of her provide a model of striving to achieve goals while living life to the fullest each day, said professors of biology James Platt and Dennis Barrett.
