Tom Foss

It has been over 1.5 years since I posted on this site, however ,was thinking of my father today. Nice to see he is still the number 1 Google search for his name Mark Foss. I guess I want to try and keep his memory and legacy alive, one of his last details of his life (he died at age 80) was to fight to keep the Sioux name and logo:The North Dakota Fighting Sioux are the athletic teams of the University of North Dakota (UND), which is located in the city of Grand Forks, North Dakota, in the United States. The logo is a Native American figure. The logo was designed by Bennett Brien, a local artist and UND graduate of Ojibwa ethnicity. BISMARCK, N.D. (AP)

I joined this forum to put my 2 cents in on a man that was my father and was probably the greatest UND supporter the school will ever know. Here is a guy whom received a masters in engineering, played as an all-conference football player for 3 years and was offered to play in the pros. He met my Mom at UND, we have had 10 different family members attend UND and my Dad loved the school. He would go to practically every home football game, many basketball and hockey games. He would listen to the radio (even if the signal was so weak most of it was static) to many, many non-home games (keep in mind he lived in Fargo his entire life after college) football mainly, yet many hockey and basketball. If every former student put a weeks worth of my Dad's lifetime of effort for the great school of UND, UND would probably have become D-1 and the Harvard of the midwest. He fought hard for the Sioux name, he donated so much time and $$$ toward the school, he just absolutely loved you guys and even if one person reads this post and sends a greeting of grattitude his way (in heaven) then this will have been worth it for me.
