O&rsquo;Malley Charitable Trust.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Gilgs were both children of immigrants, who had seen hard times on the Sandhills prairie, but whose work produced &#8220;sculptured hay stacks, healthy cattle, bountiful gardens and beautiful flowers,&#8221; Haven said.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said her father, &#8220;never touched a tractor he couldn&rsquo;t fix, a windmill he couldn&rsquo;t climb, a child he couldn&rsquo;t soothe or a geometry problem he couldn&rsquo;t solve.&#8221; Her mother, &#8220;never met a 4-H club she couldn&rsquo;t lead or feed, a cellar she couldn&rsquo;t fill with canned goods, a story she couldn&rsquo;t write or a student to whom she couldn&rsquo;t teach the 3Rs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nClarence and Nelle Gilg delayed indoor plumbing in order to pay for college tuition, Haven said, and the family produced five college graduates.<\/p>\n<p>\nClarence and Nelle in 2003 died in their nineties, two weeks apart.<\/p>\n<p>\nHaven said the endowed professorship honors &#8220;my parents and the parents of those who contributed to this professorship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nKyle Meyer, Ph.D., dean of the College of Allied Health Professions, said Honeycutt was an ideal choice for the post.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Karen is the quintessential innovator,&#8221; Dr. Meyer said. &#8220;She has literally changed the way medical laboratory science students are educated throughout the region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe UNMC College of Allied Health Professions is home to 11 health professions programs with a total enrollment of approximately 500 students, and has recently expanded to offer several of its programs at the Health Science Education Complex on the University of Nebraska-Kearney campus.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>We are <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nebraskamed.com\/\"><em>Nebraska
