He returned to the group that bestowed on him the honor of Young Man of the Year in 1951. Many say that year's honor was possibly the most popular in the history of the event.

Eleven years after his last visit, Dale Turner, described by friends as an outgone 69-year-old liberal who sometimes is controversial and always inspirational, returned to work with him in a win over hearts and inspire souls.
Turner is the former minister of the Lawrence Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., and a member of the school of religious studies. He was a member also of the original board of the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 363 Missouri St.
He returned Thursday to Lawrence amid "inspirational" community response to speak at a Bert Nash Center fund-raiser at the Lawrence Country Club. He spoke at the center's annual audience Pioneer Award Ceremony, which honored its founders.
Dale Turner, former Lawrence minister, takes time out before speaking at the Bert Nash Center's second annual Pioneer Awards Ceremony. Turner lives in Seattle and writes a weekly column for the Seattle Times.
Turner said he recognized the project's importance after several people came to the church for counseling.
"I found that life is like a game of golf," he said. "We just go from one hole to the next, and some people just aren't able to cope with the holes because they don't have the support of family or friends.
“A mind is just like any other part of the body; if it becomes broken or fractured, then we need someone who can tell us how to fix it.”
A stigma is associated with suffering from a mental illness, Turner said, but people shouldn't be embarrassed because everyone is mentally unstable at some time.
Turner lives in Seattle and, although retired, writes a weekly
column for the Seattle Times. He was a minister from the time he left Lawrence until his 1983 retirement. He said he frequently worked with college students from the University of Washington.

Pat Weiss, instructor in the School of Education, was impressed with the time and effort that some of the entries involved.
"This draws people from not only KU but also history buffs from the community." said James Seaver, professor of history and coordinator of the competition. "It's good to promote discussion among the students on substantive topics like this."
The competition featured more than 80 research papers, projects and dramatic and media presentations on topics such as rights and Responsibilities in History.
The competition, sponsored by the Kansas State Historical Society, was judged by KU history professors, graduate teaching assistants and Lawrence residents. Winners will advance to the state competition in May in Abilene.
Lloyd Sponholtz, associate professor of history and former coordinator of the competition, said this year's contest was the largest ever.
"The whole idea is to see what about rights and responsibilities appeals to the students," he said. "The contest encourages the student to get in touch with primary sources. That's where history comes alive."
"An awful lot of work goes into some of these entries, considering the students revise them for state." Weiss, a judge in the competition
Ben Sax, professor of history, said the best part of being a judge was recommending changes the students might make before going to Abilene if they won.
He said the students used their
