Dallas / Ft. Worth Huskies

Founding alumni of DFW chapter in 1987.Welcome
The Dallas-Fort Worth group started in 1987 when a group of alumni (photo at right) met to plan the first UWAA salmon barbecue to be held in North Texas. Since that time, the group has prospered and become a welcome source of purple and gold camaraderie for transplanted Huskies in the state of Texas.
