cross country his senior year.
Dawes, a 1986 Lawrence High School graduate, went to The United States Military Academy at West Point after high school in Fall 1986.
Roy Cropp, Dawes counselor from the high school, said, "He was just an exceptionally fine young adult."
"Dawes worked hard for his grades, and he was a well-rounded young man," he said. "He wanted to do well so he could go to West Point."
alone was reason for the accident," he said.

Dawes was proud of his Indian heritage, Cropp said. Dawes' father, Dawes Sr. is, a Cheyenne-Arapaho man. Dawes is a Creek-Seminole Indian.
He said Dawes expressed extreme interest in West Point since Dawes had come to the high school his sophomore year.
"That's what his goal was, to become a graduate of West Point."
he said. "He was so proud of his West Point uniform."
Dawes completed his sophomore year at Haskell and began to take courses at KU last January. Dawes received disenrollment information from KU on Oct. 14 for non-payment of fees.
Cropp said that on vacations or leaves from the academy, Dawes would come to see him and other staff members at the high school. He also visited the academy to visit Dawes at West Point in November 1986.
Dawes expressed that the academy was very tough, Cropp said, but that he would do his best to succeed.
Schmidt, who has lived with Dawes since August, said he was trying to convince Dawes to create a more workable plan for school this year.
Dawes left the academy his sophomore year and began to take courses at Haskell Indian Junior College.
Don Bread, spokesman for the Dawes family, said a prayer service was conducted last night at the Lawrence Indian United Methodist Church, 950 E. 21st St.
Steve Sublett, Dawes' high school cross country coach and chemistry teacher, said that Dawes lettered in

as a KU professor has been a big transition.
"It's very different obviously, because there are people from all walks of life and all spectrums of philosophy from conservative to liberal," he said. "I don't know if I'm viewed any differently or not."
"My guess is that to the majority of students, I'm just another person in a
Flying is the ne thing Rademacher said he has missed the most. He completed pilot training in 1965 and then served as an F-4 fighter pilot during the Vietnam War. Later he taught student pilots to fly the T-37 and T-38 training fighter planes.
"At a base, you're more immediately involved in the mission of the United States Air Force," Rademacher said. "Now, the thrill is seeing younger people, who are really motivated about doing their jobs, getting the mission done in a very professional way."
He is committed to instilling values of honesty, self-discipline, responsibility and dedication in the cadets. He considers it a part of his Air Force mission while he is ROTC commander.
"I want them to learn what it means to be a professional, which entails having high standards, integrity and a commitment to excellence," he said. "I want them to give their very best, but I don't expect them to be perfect. I know I'm not."
"I guess I'm striving for perfection, but I'm a realist. I catch myself and realize it as a perfectist, but I realize that's not possible, nor is it desirable."
Importance of Family
met 23 years ago was the colonel who commands military personnel at bases or cadets at universities. He was the young second lieutenant who captured her heart with a nice smile and an outgoing personality.
"We met in a restaurant in Mexico, 'right across the border from Texas.' I was teaching in Houston and went down to Mexico with some friends to see." she said. "W thought it was really excited to meet these young pilots.
"We sort of courted long distance for six months before we were married, the day after he got his wings. He always says he gave his wings one day and got them clipped the next."
The man who Joyce Rademacher
At home, without the uniform or rank, Rademacher can relax and be simply "John" or "Dad" to his wife and children.
"I don't try to carry the role of colonel to my home or to my personal life," he said. "I think I've kept a pretty good perspective on life. There are three things about the military that can make you rigid if you let them."
Joyce Rademacher said she thought it was often difficult for her husband to put aside his colonel mind-set at the end of the day.
"I's hard. I think he tries to quit being colonelike I try to quit being teacher," she said. "I think there's a certain personality that just becomes part of you as you go through so much military training."
Joyce Rademacher is currently working on her Ph.D. in special education at KU while working as a research assistant at the Institute for Learning Disabilities. The colonel speaks of his wife with admiration and praise for the support she has given him in his career.
"She's been able to do the role as an officer's wife while having three children and working full time," he said. "She's really helped in my success."
The Rademachers have two daughters and one son; Laura, 22; Sarah, 20; and John III, 19. Laura attends nursing school at Washburn University while living at home. Sarah and John both attend college in Texas.
During his 24 years as an Air Force officer, Rademacher has had to move his family 12 times to different bases across the country. Although the moves were easier when the children were young, in later years the strain of moving caught up with the family.
"There's been times in the past when I think my older daughter was upset with me for uprooting her," he said. "But later, she got over it. That's a tough adjustment."
Between Air Force duties and family time, Rademacher enjoys spending his spare moments reading, particularly books on the Vietnam War. On Satdays in the fall, though, he can usually be found at Memorial Stadium cheering on the Jayhawks at home football games.
"I'm an avid KU football fan, and I've bought season tickets for the last three years," he said. "I've told the non-compassioned officers that we were going to win four games this season, and they were rolling on the floor laughing."
Vietnam veteran
Military life often places strains on families. One of the Rademacher's true family tests was John's tour of duty in Vietnam as an A-4 pilot in 1967 and 1968. Their daughter, Laura, was only one month old.
"It was really hard, because the air war was really bad while he was there," Joyce Rademacher said. "Many of our friends didn't come back."
For John Rademacher, the experience was a chance to fulfill the actual Air Force mission.
"It was very exciting in a way, because you were doing your primary job as an Air Force officer -- you were fighting in a war," he said. "You were put right in the middle of life and death situations, and all of the training you had had came to a head.
"You would get very anxious before you flew, because you knew this could be your day to get shot down and die."
His following assignments, which included work as a flying squadron section commander, a student squadron commander and a deputy commander of operations all involved him directly with flying
He said he didn't consider his job as ROTC commander to be as stressful as his previous assignments had been. Rademacher he enjoyed the teaching aspect the most about his current assignment, aside from the stacks of paperwork that accompany the position.
He is six years from the 30-year mandatory retirement period for a colonel. Teaching high school students is one post-retirement option he offers to him, in the back of his mind, a chance to fulfill an entirely new mission.
"It's really difficult for me to imagine doing anything but being in the military," he said. "But I think I'd like to try teaching of some kind. I want to have a positive influence on young people."
