A Rough Rider Award reunion is being planned.

Gov. John Hoeven's office says eight recipients of North Dakota's highest honor, the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award, will be in Bismarck next week.

The eight are former University of North Dakota president Thomas Clifford, actress Angie Dickinson, media executive William Marcil, former General Motors executive Harry Pearce, broadcast executive Chester Reiten, singer Bobby Vee, University of Mary President Sister Thomas Welder and author Larry Woiwode.

Hoeven's office says the group will speak to business and community leaders, students and others at a number of events next Wednesday and Thursday.
