Dick was born on Nov. 20, 1941, in Wauwatosa, Wis., to Elroy and Anita Thrun. He was a graduate of Horicon High and also held many ath- letic school records. Prior to joining the Army he attend- ed the University of Wiscon- sin-Madison and played foot- ball for the Badgers and also the Berliner Bears Army team in Berlin, Germany. It was here he met his first wife, Erika Thrun. In 1963 they moved back to the U.S. with first child, DeAnna Hendricks. Dick’s ca- reer began as a local police- man. But his part-time job working for M o d e r n Woodmen of Dick Thrun America un- covered his true gift of helping others. Modern Woodmen was hon- ored to have Dick move from representative to supervisor to agency manager. He en- joyed a career that spanned 30 years, winning numerous awards, recognitions and trips. The position of agency manager moved Dick and his family to central Minnesota. In 1981 Dick met Mary Zack and a new blended fam- ily was created. Residences in Hastings and Prescott hold many fond memories. After Dick’s early retire- ment, new adventures began. Although their permanent address was Hood River, Ore., full-time RV living took them on countless and mem- orable jour neys. Loving warm weather in the winter they traveled to Hawaii for several years. However, Puer- to Vallarta, Mexico, became his winter home for the past 25 years. Dick was preceded in death by his son, Derek Thrun; parents Elroy and Anita Thrun; siblings Curt Thrun and Roxy Schrauf- nagel; and grandsons Bran- don and Devon Lauwagie. He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Mary Zack. Chil- dren and grandchildren in- clude: DeAnna (Scott) Hen- dricks, Jenny, Alex and Katie Hendricks; Kirk (Sherie) Zack, Collete and Colson Zack; Dan (friend Pam Borst) Thrun, Katie Kuper and Tan- ner Thrun; Laura (Ross) Kropp, Samantha and Kasey Kropp; Katharine (Jesse) Riewe, Jake and Mason Lauwagie; Rich Thrun and beloved dog Lacy. Dick is also survived by siblings Sharon (Bob) Wieshoff, Elroy (Car- olyn) Thrun and nieces and nephews, Tracy Thrun, Car- rie Brooks, Tim Thrun, Renea Mueller, Mike and Corey Moede and countless family and friends. A celebration of Dick’s life will be held at a later date. Donations to your local food shelf/bank in his memory are preferred.

It exam- ines the experiences of bracero workers and their families, providing rich in- sight into Mexican American history and historical back- ground to today’s debates on guest worker programs. The exhibition combines recent research, powerful pho- tographs from the Smithson- ian’s collection, and audio ex- cerpts from oral histories con- tributed by former contract workers. The Bracero Program of 1942-1964 allowed 4.6 million Mexicans to work in the U.S. over the program’s 22-year ex- istence. The benefits and pit- falls are described in this trav- eling Smithsonian exhibit that comes as some U.S. law- makers consider a new Bracero worker program as part of immigration reform. Sponsored locally by U.S. Bank and the Jackson Foun- dation, the exhibit “Bitter- sweet Harvest: The Bracero Program” will be on display in the Columbia Gorge Dis- covery Center’s River Gallery through February 15, 2015. Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum is the of- ficial interpretive center for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Hands- on, multi-media exhibits illu- minate the cultural and nat- ural history of the Gorge, in- cluding Ice Age geology, Na- tive American culture, Lewis and Clark, the Oregon Trail, trade, transportation, ecolo- gy, and more. The museum is wheel-chair accessible, and family friendly, with a Kids Explorer room. Riverfront Trail offers hiking and bik- ing, and a native plant nature trail circles the pond next to the museum.
