There are so many wonderful memories from our times together connected with Citadel Class of '59 events both at Homecoming and throughout the year each year over the past several decades. She was always there to assist and always gracious. The annual Class of '59 Homecoming events and especially the Sunday worship program were always times when she pitched in abundantly to see that the events were successful. I was personally blest by her presence and concern during my many health problems over the years. THANKS BEA for being there and making our Class of 59 solid and strong.
