SwedeHearts - Leroy '80 & Barb '81 Hackley

March 1, 2022

I met Barb Krone ('81) when she was a freshman and I was a Sophomore. I was looking for recruits for my intramural team. Her brother was an All American basketball player at Bethany so I figured she was athletic too. I WAS WRONG! In early 1981 she not only got a degree from Bethany but a husband too. We were married in the Burnett Center on campus and had our reception in the Levin Room.
