Where Are They Now?

Dustin D. Huckfeldt

Dustin is the son of Dean and Vicky Huckfeldt. He graduated from Hay Springs High School in 1993 after which he attended some college.

Dustin has served our country for 19 years and will retire from the Navy in May 2013 as an E-6. Throughout his Navy career he has had the opportunity to visit many places: California, Tennessee, Virginia, Florida, Spain, Greece, Slovenia, France, Italy, UAE, Bahrain, Malta, Jordan, Iceland, Iraq, Kuwait, Canada, Germany, Japan, Colorado, Washington, and more.

When asked what at Hay Springs schools benefited him the most, he stated “the sense of what a team can accomplish.” His favorite memory of Hay Springs is that “it truly is a family.”

Currently, Dustin is deployed with an E/A 18 squadron to Misawa, Japan. He is making preparations for his retirement in May. His wife and daughter are awaiting his return to Colorado where they reside.

His advice to current students, “Enjoy it. High school is the last easy thing you will do.”

Alumni to be Featured on Website

We are looking forward to featuring alumni in a bi-weekly series called “Where Are They Now?” The goal is to have enough participation from alumni to continue this throughout the life of the school website. There have been a few alumni contacted to get us started. We hope to include past graduates from many different years and current locations. If you are interested or have a suggestion for a featured alumnus, please feel free to drop a line to shannon@panesu.org with the information.
