It is really good to see all the former students back for Homecoming though you begin to feel old when it seems like this past May when a student graduated by he declares he is in his third year of law school. I think both Alex Kornfeld and I think that time is flying.
And, Jen Crocker Roberts spent two years in the business world and is now pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching at Converse. She is going into early childhood and here Dr. Joe Rubinstein is showing her a couple of math tricks to work with the young students.
And, Stryker, the mascot, was intriguing to Dr. Joe and Dr.Katie's young ones.
There was a great deal going on over the weekend with sports center stage as baseball, girls soccer and guys soccer all had games. The basketball teams played some alumni games and I probably missed somewhere else. We did hear again that the Landmark in Hartsville is not a place anyone wants to stay. And, The Spencers were really great at the Coker-Hartsville Concert Series on Friday night.
This was also the weekend that the Hartsville - The Art of Good Living marketing campaign was launched.
This is the story about the Alumna Award at Homecoming. Patricia's art is distinctive so if you are ever in Ashville, or you can use the link, you might want to check it out.
