Lloyd and Trudy Reeves supported educational and extra-curricular activities in Crete for over a half-century. The Reeves were gifted scholars and athletes. Lloyd graduated from Doane and Trudy was the first woman to graduate from UNL with a Masters in Physical Education.
The Reeves owned and published The Crete News and were avid supporters of Crete Public Schools. The couple attended school events for decades cheering for their children and grandchildren, as well as all of the Cardinals.
Lloyd's recollection of details and accomplishments of athletes, students and alumni was legendary. It was a goal to create a "Hall of Fame" which recognized and honored the outstanding achievements of Crete alumni.
