Dear Southernites and Friends:
Homecoming last week was so much fun. It was great to see so many alumni here on the Bluff. Friday was just as busy as Thursday with all of the incredible events on campus. If you didn’t get a chance to stop by the Alumni House for some of Ms. Glinda Rutledge’s gumbo, you missed a real treat. We had lots of food, drinks, and music. That Ole Southern Spirit was definitely alive and well. I really felt at home later that night at the Alumni Roundup that featured Zydeco recording artist, Keith Frank. As a kid from Opelousas and Plaisance, I grew up on Zydeco music and thought this was great. Thanks to all of the alumni classes who came out, did a Zydeco two step, and “passed a good time.”
We continue to focus on celebrating our alumni classes. I think I had almost as much fun as the class of 1967 during their reunion dinner Thursday night. I announced during my speech that the class was extra special to me because I was born in 1967. Of course, the class laughed and gave me lots of grief. The next day, Patricia Deamer proclaimed me “the baby of the class of 1967.” It is a badge of honor that I will wear proudly. The class of 1968 has already begun planning for its 50
year reunion next year; we will also be celebrating the classes of ’58, ’78, ’88, ’98 and 2008.
Saturday, the class of 1967 put its money where its mouth is, and officially presented the Alumni Federation with a check for $50,000 during the football game in celebration of its 50-year anniversary. Again, I must extend to them a heartfelt thank you. The money will continue to support scholarships to assist students here at Southern University...
