The Stackpole-Hall Foundation
Welcome New Trustee
William J. Olson
The Stackpole-Hall Foundation Trustees, family, and staff are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. William J. Olson as a new Term Trustee for the Foundation.
Mr. Olson began his engineering career with roles at Quality Components, before joining Keystone Powdered Metal Company, where he would spend the next 15 years. Following his successful tenure in the manufacturing and engineering sectors, he chose to transition into work that more directly supports community and environmental priorities.
​
He now works in the wildlife field as a consultant, focusing on habitat improvement strategies for private, commercial, and government clients. Bill has also served as a technician on numerous wildlife research projects conducted by state and federal agencies, as well as university partners. His commitment to conservation extends beyond his professional work; he has been an active member of several local, state, and national conservation organizations and has contributed his time to various civic and nonprofit efforts throughout the region.
​
Bill holds BS degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Business, and Economics from Carnegie Mellon University. He resides in St. Marys with his wife, Jane Kahl Olson, and is the proud father of daughter Justine Olson Bleggi and son Andrew Olson.
​
The Foundation is excited to welcome Mr. Olson, whose term will begin on January 1, 2026. The Trustees look forward to his leadership and the perspective he will bring, particularly in the areas of local environmental and conservation needs.
Stewards of Our Mission – In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of R. Dauer Stackpole.
Mr. Stackpole passed away peacefully on Friday, October 17, 2025.
​
A proud graduate of the University of Pittsburgh in the late 1960s, Dauer remained a devoted Panther throughout his life and was a longtime member of the Golden Panther Club. He was also a graduate of Mercersburg Academy, a preparatory school in Pennsylvania, and pursued post-graduate studies at Bucknell University. In addition, he was a proud U.S. Army veteran, having honorably served his country during the Vietnam War 1969-1970.
​
Dauer’s service to the Stackpole-Hall Foundation spanned more than five decades. He was first elected a Trustee in 1974 and became Chairman of the Board in 2007, leading with integrity, wisdom, and vision until his retirement in 2017. Upon retirement, he was named Honorary Trustee, a role he held with pride and distinction until his passing.
​
In recognition of his commitment, leadership, and unwavering dedication to the Foundation and the residents of Elk County, Dauer’s fellow Trustees established a scholarship in his honor at the Elk County Community Foundation — a lasting tribute to a man whose life exemplified service, generosity, and community spirit.
Dauer will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him, work alongside him, and be inspired by his kindness.
​
We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife, Lucy, daughter, Daisy, siblings, Laurey and Scott, and to all his nieces and nephews.
