50th anniversary of WSU plane crash

Fifty years after his grandfather was killed in the crash of a plane carrying WSU football players and others to a game in Utah, Evan Fahrbach is pursuing an MBA at Wichita State with the help of a scholarship created to honor those in the crash.

"Graduating from WSU with a degree will be a great way to have a special bond with my grandfather, as well as my own father," Fahrbach says. "I would not be able to afford getting an MBA without the scholarship money. I really cannot put into words how grateful I am."


Carl Fahrbach, Wichita State's first dean of admissions, was one of 31 players, coaches, university officials and boosters killed in the 1970 crash in the Colorado mountains. Nine others survived.
