Raise a Glass in Honor of
Chris Hanna '93
C
hris Hanna '93 passed away on February 14. Chris
was born September 3, 1970, in Wichita, Kan., to
Janice Ann and William Wesley "Bill" Hanna. He graduated
from Southeast High School in Wichita. He received his
undergraduate degree in business administration from the
University of Kansas and his MBA and law degrees from
the University of Texas at Austin. His brother, Paul, is also
a DU, and their entire family has been strong supporters
of the Chapter over the years. Chris was also a leader
with the University's alumni association and served on
several volunteer boards, including the KU Memorial Union
Corporation Board and the Associate Board of Advisors for
the KU School of Business.
As a self-employed businessman, Chris had previously been employed at Hill's Pet
Nutrition, Americans for Prosperity, and was founder and partner in The BleuJacket
restaurant. Chris truly loved the restaurant business and most recently enjoyed being an
investor in the restaurant, Merchants Pub & Plate.
Chris married Teresa "Tree" Lynch Hanna, a Chi Omega from KU, on August 9, 1997, in
Beaver Creek, Colo. He was active in the Lawrence community as the golf coach at Bishop
Seabury Academy and enjoyed golfing with his family and friends. Chris was regarded by
all as an intelligent, kind, funny, cheerful and giving man who was always willing to lend a
hand. He will be dearly missed, and we raise our glass to honor Chris and the contributions
he has made to our Chapter and community.

Lee R. Bittenbender, M.D. '68 is still
practicing dermatology and enjoying it. He and
his wife spent three weeks last fall trekking in
the Himalayas in Tibet and had a fabulous time.
"Last March we were in Uganda and Rwanda
to see the mountain gorillas, some of which
reminded me of some of my pledge brothers."
