Diane Naegel Scholarship Winner in the News

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Kevin Fitzpatrick

Sarita Naegel, the mom of the late Wit’s End founder, Diane Naegel, posted an update about the fashion student who won a memorial scholarship created in Diane’s memory. Mary Helen Boeddeker won last year and has her own apparel business. Sarita says:

Meet the Diane Naegel Memorial scholarship winner from 2012! She’s a wonderful gal, and exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit Diane had too. This year we will have another award winner at the annual University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning Fashion Show on April 26th. I thought the wonderful friends and family who donated to her scholarship fund would enjoy seeing how Mary Helen is doing.

Thanks to all for keeping Diane’s spirit alive, no matter what way you do it.
