We met on the front steps of GDH. (You had to love those signs the freshmen had to wear around their necks with name and dorm.) We were married in 1981 and have lived in Texas, Georgia, Indiana, Georgia again, Germany and finally in South Carolina. We have three children; two are PC graduates (Anna

Michael and I owe special thanks to my Hose leader, who was a great friend of his and her matchmaking skills. She orchestrated our meeting on my second day on campus in 2001 and though neither of us initially wanted to be in a relationship, we quickly gave in and just let it happen. I

We met in Dr. Ramsey’s Old Testament Survey course in Neville as freshmen. By the end of the semester, we made sure to sign up for the same New Testament Survey course so that we’d continue to see each other (and started hanging out outside of class as well). A couple of short years later,

After encouragement from friends, Grahame and I both attended an Alumni gathering in Charleston, SC in the fall of 2000 and struck up a conversation. We spent the night catching up and realizing how much we had in common. Grahame and I had our “first” date at The Charleston Museum “Happy Hour at the Hunley”
The Kirtlands
We met in 1967. Bill was a junior and Mary was a freshman and our first date was an “arranged” blind date the first week of “rat week” for Mary! Dr. Chapman was Mary’s academic advisor and for many years repeated the slightly exaggerated story that when he asked her what degree she wanted to

Towards the end of January 1987, Dr. Gillespie’s Utopia Seminar was meeting in Thomason Library. Elizabeth and I were in the class together and I finally got up the nerve to ask her out after class on the front steps of the library. She looked excited but then said she had a date for that
