Retiree's Impact is Five-fold

          HOLLAND -- As Jane Holman retires from Hope
  College, her duties are being split among five staff
  members.
          Holman, whose time with the college ends in
  October, holds responsibilities ranging from directing the
  Dow and DeWitt Tennis centers, to handling sales of athletic
  tickets, to coaching women's golf.  The positions are being
  assumed by current members of the Hope faculty or staff
  either in addition to their present roles or as shifts in
  duty.
          Donna Eaton, associate professor of kinesiology,
  is Hope's new women's golf coach.  Eva Dean Folkert,
  intramural assistant, is the new athletic ticket manager.
  Brian Morehouse, women's basketball coach, is director of
  the Dow Center.  Karen Page and Dwayne "Tiger" Teusink are
  continuing work with the DeWitt Tennis Center, sharing its
  administration as director of tennis and manager
  respectively.
          The appointments all became effective at the
  beginning of this month.
          Holman's service to the college has spanned more
  than 25 years, with her roles accruing piecemeal.  She
  joined the staff in 1973 as the secretary for the department
  of kinesiology.  She subsequently became athletic ticket
  manager, and when the Dow Center opened in 1978 became the
  building's office manager and facilities coordinator.  In
  1988, she succeeded faculty member Dr. George Kraft as the
  building's director, when he assumed additional
  responsibilities as chair of the department of kinesiology.
          She has been coach of the college's women's golf
  team since its debut in 1991.  She became director of the
  DeWitt Tennis Center when it opened in 1994.
          "Jane has just had a tremendous capacity to do
  work, to do a volume of work and to do it well," said Kraft.
  "She just is an incredibly able person."
          "She's doing so many things that it's just
  unbelievable," he said.  "In a sense, it's taking five
  people to replace her."
          Kraft noted that he is equally enthused about
  Holman's five successors.
          "We're thrilled with all of them," he said.  "What
  a team--it's a marvelous group."
          Eaton joined the Hope faculty as an assistant
  professor in 1984.  Courses that she has taught within the
  past year include "Health Dynamics," "Introduction to
  Nutrition," "Sport Psychology" and "Beginning Racquetball."
  She served in the past as head coach for volleyball, women's
  tennis and women's track.
          Folkert joined the college's staff in 1985,
  serving in the public relations office as a writer and
  editor.  She subsequently worked in the registrar's office,
  and as an editor for departmental brochures and the
  college's pictorial faculty directory.  She became the
  assistant in the college's intramurals program in the fall
  of 1997.
          Morehouse joined the Hope staff as an assistant
  director of admissions in 1991, a role that ends as he
  begins his work with the Dow Center.  He served as junior
  varsity coach of the men's basketball team for two years,
  and was appointed coach of the women's basketball team in
  1996.
          Page is assuming additional administrative
  responsibilities at the DeWitt Tennis Center, where she has
  been director of tennis since 1994 and teaches tennis
  courses.  She has taught tennis in the area since the 1970s,
  including at the Holland Tennis Club.  She formerly coached
  the boy's and girls' varsity tennis teams at West Ottawa
  High School, and currently coaches the college's women's
  team.
          Teusink became a tennis teaching professional with
  the DeWitt Tennis Center in 1994, a role he also held at the
  Holland Tennis Club.  In 1989, he retired from teaching at
  Holland High School, where he also had coached boys' and
  girls' tennis and boys' basketball, and was athletic
  director.  He finished a final year as the school's girls'
  tennis coach last fall.
