in gratitude for his experience and ensures success

In high school, Crain was recruited by colleges with top baseball programs. Surprising many, he signed with Miami, at the time in a seven-season losing streak. But he thought he could help make Miami a winning program – and he was right. The years Crain played, Miami Baseball never saw a losing season, and, after Crain graduated with a B.S. in education, the team had continued success. He left a legacy on the field, and today he and his wife, Susan Richardson Crain, leave a legacy for student-athletes in years to come. Through the Match the Promise program, the Crains endowed the Donald and Susan Crain Baseball Scholarship for baseball student-athletes in the Farmer School of Business or from Butler County, Ohio, to use toward summer or winter term classes, including tuition and room and board. “Miami has an obligation to student-athletes to do its best for them and make sure they’re turned out into the world with an excellent experience in the classroom and on the field,” Crain said. The Crains also are supporters of the Graduating Champions campaign, a fundraising effort to advance Miami Athletics in critical areas of scholarships and athletic facilities.

Growing up, he played multiple positions in baseball – second base, third base and occasionally left field – and has always been willing to sacrifice for the good of the team. “Don Crain embodies the competitive team spirit deeply ingrained in Miami Athletics’ proud tradition,” said Tom Herbert, senior vice president

that competitive spirit prepared him for his law career. “Miami taught me to have high expectations and to strive for perfection, as Terry Hoeppner [former Miami Football coach] would say, and settle for excellence,” Crain said. “That’s something that’s always been a given at Miami.” Don and Susan have three children: Betsy Crain ’99 and Cindy Johnson ’03, who are Miami Farmer School of Business graduates, and Frank, a Sinclair Community College 2004 graduate in process engineering. ■

I had five hours of calculus, and I was overwhelmed. That’s when I changed to pre-med.” It’s a good thing he did. Dr. Hirsh is the founder of Radiology Mammography International (RMI), a nonprofit that brings mammography and breast cancer education to developing regions all over the world. Thanks to him and the mission teams he leads, doctors in Nicaragua, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, India, Serbia and many other countries are learning more about breast cancer and being given the tools to better diagnose and treat their patients. When he embarks on a mission, Dr. Hirsh takes a team of eight to 12 people with him – x-ray technologists, engineers, radiologists, women’s health educators and sometimes even spouses of members of Congress, some of whom are breast cancer survivors. Some members of the team focus on installing the donated mammography
