Boxhorn has many memories of activities she has been involved in through UWM, including participation in the UWM community orchestra. The orchestra performance that deserves honorable, even reverent, attention is the program that included some Edvard Grieg. The cello section was very anxious about a particularly challenging passage. At the final rehearsal, hearing the section fall apart yet again, the director said that those who were nervous should play air cello. Boxhorn\u2019s husband, sitting in the audience, told her later that the audience watched with fascination as every cellist carefully played the exposed passage \u2013 in silence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_87854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87854\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87854\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2020\/12\/LOS_BrendaDugan250x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-87854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brenda Dugan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Brenda Dugan, executive assistant to College of General Studies Dean Simon Bronner, spent most of her 30 years at what was the UW-Waukesha campus, which became part of UWM a few years ago.
