| Todd Upton has been a supporter
of the OU athletic department for many years. Through Dillman and Upton Hardware and
Lumber in Rochester, his support has taken on greater opportunities. Improvements recently made in the pool and on the baseball field are
thanks in great part to Todds generosity and knowledge. Through the Lumber company,
Todd donated the lumber for the deck area around the new diving boards, something which
has given that area a much nicer look and added a higher touch of class to that area of
the pool. The baseball field was certainly lacking prior to Todds intervention. The
first two years of the reinstated program, there were no dugouts to protect the teams from
the elements, something very important to baseball in Michigan in April. Thanks to the
donation of lumber, we were able to build two dugouts and a much needed press box. His
cooperative attitude and free advice have been very supportive to the program. |
