1. Vote for Marquette legends
Help recognize Marquette’s role in Milwaukee history by voting for local legends as part of the city’s birthday.
The Milwaukee Press Club has produced a list of candidates who were either born in Milwaukee or “made their mark” in the city. The public is invited to vote for their favorites from among the 99 entries. Selections will be celebrated at the 161st Birthday Party for the City of Milwaukee on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at the Milwaukee Public Museum, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
“Legends” listed with Marquette University connections include:
• Les Aspin (U.S. Congressman and the inspiration for Marquette’s Les Aspin Center for Government)
• Chris Farley (Marquette University alumnus, best known for his work on “Saturday Night Live”)
• Jacques Marquette (17th-century French, Jesuit missionary-explorer, Marquette’s namesake and considered the co-founder of Milwaukee)
• Al McGuire (Marquette’s legendary men’s basketball coach from 1964 to 1977, when Marquette won the NCAA championship in his final game as coach)
• George Reedy (Lucius Nieman Chair and professor of journalism at Marquette from 1972 to 1991; press secretary to President Lyndon Johnson)
