CalStage celebrates the life of beloved board member and activist Dale Kooyman.
Dale Kooyman, noted longtime midtown activist, transitioned to his next phase at age 82 on November 5, 2015, following a severe stroke.
Dale was born into an Iowa farm family as the youngest of seven children on May 13, 1933. Although experienced in the farming life by the time he graduated from high school, his interest to educate himself and to teach others led him to attend Iowa State Teachers’ College.
