The Fond du Lac alumni reception, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., will be hosted by Open Road H-D franchise president Pete Johnson, '89 and '93 MBA, vice president Lori Thiel, and fellow UW Oshkosh alumni who live and work in the Fond du Lac area. Guests will enjoy complimentary refreshments, hors d'oeuvres and a chance to win two tickets to the 105th Harley-Davidson Anniversary Celebration. How the H-D theme came about A recent trip to Harley-Davidson Motor Company's headquarters in Milwaukee to visit 2007 Outstanding Young Alumni Award recipient Laura Denissen Scherr, '99, marketing project manager, helped inspire a Harley-Davidson based theme for this year's Homecoming. Several UW Oshkosh alumni are employed by Harley-Davidson and many others are H-D owners and enthusiasts. All motorcycle owners and enthusiasts are invited to ride in the Homecoming parade or watch it.
