Since Carl Lindsay ’50 passed away in January of this year, Carol has moved Sacramento to be near her daughter and son in Palo Alto.

is thrilled to announce that she and her husband plan to move to live in Maryville on June 1st. After 40 years in South Korea, retired near DC, a Delaware beach and a CCRC in Lewes DE they are coming a wiggly full circle back to Maryville! Their six kids live in the UAE, China, Rwanda, Alaska, Alabama, Tennessee and some grandchildren also live in the South.

While Laurie is disappointed that she was not able to make it back for her class reunion in October, she wanted to tell the class hello and that she is alive and well, still substituting in the high school and doing mission work in Costa Rica and Guatemala. She said, “I am the proud grandmother of seven grandchildren and 12 great grands. I will make it to our 70th! Shalom!”

From the Maryville Daily Times Kramer to receive 2015 Good Scout Award The Tuckaleechee District will be honoring Roy Kramer with the 2015 Good Scout Award as he has “exemplified the Scout Oath and Law throughout his life” during a benefit dinner at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, at Maryville College Alumni Gym, according to Great Smoky Mountain Council of Boy Scouts of America. Kramer, a native of Maryville and Eagle Scout from Troop 81, is a 1951 graduate of Maryville College and attended University of Michigan to pursue his master’s degree. He served as a high school teacher and football coach in Michigan for 12 years and won three state championships. Kramer then joined Central Michigan University where he coached college football for 13 years with 11 of those years as the head coach. During this time, the GSMC notes in the announcement, Kramer won National Coach of the Year in 1974 and also won the 1974 Division II National Championship. Kramer went on to spend 12 years as Vanderbilt University’s athletic director before being named the sixth commissioner of the Southeastern Conference in 1989, a post he held until retiring in 2002. Additionally, Kramer served six years as a member of the NCAA Basketball Tournament Committee, nine years on the NCAA Infractions Committee, and served as the first coordinator of the Bowl Championship Series for three years. In 2008, he received the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, which is given to Eagle Scouts who have received extraordinary national-level recognition and have a strong record of volunteering in their community.

Letitia shared in August that she will be 88 years old on January 18, 2017. "I have so many fond memories of Maryville College and will always be grateful that Maryville College gave me the opportunity to go there. I majored in English. My husband, David, will be 88 on January 5, 2017. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1950. We both grew up in Pennsylvania and met at the Camp Hill Presbyterian Church in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania in 1951 where I was the church secretary (the first job I had after graduating from Maryville College in 1951) and he was the guest organist for the summer at the church although he majored in civil engineering in water resources. We will be married 65 years on December 29, 2016. He plays the organ now at Calvary Baptist Church in Ukiah, California."

Celebrating 94 years now surrounded by greatgrandbabie, I love watercolor painting and family gatherings.
