Recognition:  Meritorious Service

Dr. Stevenson was a fixture on the sidelines at Antelope football games for 30 years. From 1960 until his retirement after the 1990 season he was volunteer team physician. As the first team doctor, along with Kearney Clinic partner Dr. L.R. Smith, Stevenson rarely missed a UNK football game. He flew his own plane to nearly every away contest. Although most of his work was with football, Stevenson did travel with the Antelope basketball team to Taiwan in 1980 when UNK was the United States’ representative in the William Jones World Cup International Tournament.
