Best known as co-founder of the Mayo Clinic with his brother Charles, William Mayo was exposed to the medical field at a young age through his experiences with his physician father. Both became surgeons with expertise in many methods and procedures.
Maurice Britt – 1919
Drafted by the Detroit Lions in 1940, Maurice Britt’s career headed into high gear. Then in 1941, he was drafted once again – by the United States Army. Britt went on to become the army service member in United States history to receive the three highest combat awards in a single war. He earned the Distinguished Service Cross, the Medal of Honor, and the Silver Star among many other awards.
Following the war, Britt served his home state as Lt. Governor for two terms.
Harmon Killebrew – 1936
Playing mostly for the Minnesota Twins, Harmon Killebrew was a right-handed power hitter. His numerous home runs and last name earned him an obvious nickname. However, “Killer” didn’t quite fit the soft-spoken nature of the person.
