Fall 2002 Memories

Alumni Reunion Weekend

The 2002 weekend kicked off
on Thursday with a picnic,
ice cream social and concert on Scott Field. The evening ended with a chance for all to view the heavens at the new Winslow Observatory, located at the GC Ayers Center.

Friday provided opportunities for the attendees to pursue their individual interests at a variety of workshops and activities. One of these activities was the ever-popular Panther Golf Scramble, which benefits GC Athletics.
Friday night featured the alumni banquet and the young alumni family picnic at Patriot’s Park.

Dr. Robert E. “Ish” Smith, president emeritus, was the guest speaker at the banquet. During the evening he was also honored with the Distinguished Alumnus Award. Other awards given during the banquet included the Faculty Award, presented to Dr. Craig Boyd, and the Loyalty Award, presented to Tom and Betty Morgan.

At noon on Saturday, the reunion classes reconvened for individual class reunion lunches.

Dinner Saturday featured a Mexican-style fiesta in Armington Center. The activities then moved to Patriot’s Park where BlueGrass, a Christian bluegrass band, performed a concert. The weekend culminated with a fireworks display presented by Stephens Family Healthcare of Greenville.
