CHRONICLEPHOTOS BY PAUL O’MARABERRYF ALL 2002 VOLUME 89, NUMBER 1RECIPE FOR SUCCESS BLENDS NEW VISIONWITH REVAMPED HISTORIC STRUCTUREThe Cook renovation features the latest technology—thanks to a$425,000 grant from The Goizueta Foundation.The Cook Building”Does the mere mention of thosewords send Periodic Table symbolsswirling through your mind and make theair seem suddenly twinged with thepungent aroma of chemistry experimentsgone by?Well, you might be surprised to learnthat those words will mean somethingquite different to future Berry grads.The former science and agriculturebuilding now houses the Charter School ofEducation and Human Sciences’ programsin teacher education and psychology.But don’t think of the students huddledaround large lab tables. The building hasundergone a complete transformation.Elegant curves — mirroring the exteriorserpentine wall — now define hallwaysleading to some of the best-equippededucation and psychology classroomsanywhere. Laboratories have beenreplaced with large classrooms that enableteam teaching and/or observation, smallseminar rooms for break-out sessions andeven two classrooms designed for use by6th, 7th and 8th graders at Berry CollegeMiddle School.“With the award of a substantialgrant from the BellSouthFoundation, we recreated theteacher education program,” said“Dr. Jacqueline McDowell,dean of the Charter School.“Also at that time, theopportunity to think aboutwhat we would want in afacility to match theprogram came to theforefront. So, we were ableto take a program anddesign a building around itso that it could mirror thenew kinds of teaching andlearning that we weregoing to do.”The resulting plans, coupledwith those generatedfor the psychology program,immediately gainedsupport from a longtimefriend of Berry through agift of $5 million. “Fortunately,a friend came forward,”Dr. McDowell said.“We were able to havethem visit the campus, talkabout the vision for theschool, and very quickly,we had a check to pay forthe entire renovation.”The Charter School’svision is to graduate 100of the best-prepared new teachers eachyear. “These will be teachers who aregrounded in the liberal arts, equipped touse the latest technology and trained towork in culturally diverse classrooms,” Dr.McDowell said.Because of their experience with thebest resources in the world of education,Charter School graduates will leave Berryable to make positive changes in theschool systems where they teach, Dr.McDowell said. “We tell our students, ‘Youneed to be a change agent. You will beequipped to work in this manner, and wehope that you would be a leader in yourschool no matter how small the steps arethat you have to take to make changes.’We encourage our students to say, ‘I knowthat integrated instruction is possiblebecause I’ve been doing it at Berry. Let’sstart small, but let’s give some of thesenew teaching innovations a try.’”Already, the Charter School is seeingthe benefits of its new curriculum. Whileschools of education across the nation arestruggling with declining enrollments,Berry’s is blossoming. “We have 100percent placement of our graduates,” Dr.McDowell said. “We had to cut off thenumber of school districts coming to ourrecruiting fair at 52 because we just didn’thave room.”Dr. McDowell added that she expectsthe positive trend to continue as theCharter School offers its first full slate ofclasses in the Cook Building this fall.“We’re very excited that we have thiswonderful new facility that will enable usto reach our current goals. But we can’tstop there. The students we’re preparingnow could easily still be in classrooms in2036. We have to keep asking ‘what’snext?’ We have to keep growing. Thebuilding is just the beginning.” ■— DAWN TOLBERTCOOK BUILDING OFFERS LATEST INNOVATIONS• STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY — A $425,000 grant from The GoizuetaFoundation equipped the renovated facility with the latest technology, includingmultimedia classrooms with projectors and screens integrated with in-the-roomcomputers, DVDs, VCRs, document cameras and total audio and video capabilities. Amedia production center gives students tools to meet performance-based assessmentrequirements and to leave Berry with CDs demonstrating their professional skills.• TEXTBOOK REPOSITORY — Textbook publishers will send the latest textbooks forall grade levels to the Charter School, where they’ll be available in a library for reviewby students and faculty.• DEMONSTRATION CLASSROOMS FOR BERRY COLLEGE MIDDLE SCHOOL — 6th, 7thand 8th graders from Berry’s middle school will attend classes on the first floor ofCook, allowing interaction between these adolescents and the college’s education andpsychology students.• LEWIS AND RUBY HOPKINS SCHOLARSHIP GALLERY — Displayed will be photos ofcurrent students who are receiving the more than 30 scholarships for education andpsychology majors. The gallery, funded by a gift from the Hopkins, who are bothBerry alumni, recognizes and encourages student accomplishment.• BRICK ARCHWAY AND STUDENT LOUNGE — Located just inside the new entranceon the north side of the building is a brick archway that was part of the originalfacade, a constant reminder of the building’s history. The archway leads to thestudent lounge, designed to be the centerpiece of the building to remind all who enterthat students are the central purpose of the facility.2

MESSAGEPRESIDENT’SAGRICULTURE IN OUR ROOTSAND IN OUR FUTUREAgriculture has been a part of Berrysince our earliest days. From thestart, pragmatism and theeducational needs of our students havedetermined its role. Agriculture was sosignificant at Berry in our early yearsthat Martha Berry will soon be inductedin the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame.Nearly 50 years after Berry students lastate what was grown on college farms,one could wonder if agriculture willthrive at Berry in the 21st century.The history of agricultural studies atBerry has been a history of continuingchange. Berry’s fifth president, Dr. JohnBertand, a former agriculture schooldean, was committed to a strong,balanced undergraduate college program.He transformed Berry into an accreditedliberal arts college with professionalprograms in business and teacherpreparation, one in which the agriculturalsciences would eventually become a partof the natural science curriculum. UnderDr. Bertrand’s leadership, the collegemoved from farming and production toclassroom and laboratory studies inagriculture.As early as 1915, Berry had a modelfarm program in which exemplaryfarming practices were carried out. Amajor in agriculture dates to 1930 andwas offered until 1968. College catalogsfrom the early 1950s refer to a 50-acrevegetable garden and a 35-acre orchard,as well as beef, dairy, hog and poultryoperations. The garden, orchard, hog andpoultry operations ceased after Dr.Bertrand became president.Berry introduced two-year certificateprograms in animal, horticultural anddairy technology in the 1960s,converting them a decade later to twoyearassociate of science degreeprograms. The associate of sciencedegrees were dropped in 1989. Thebachelor of science degree with a majorin animal science was begun in 1975,and ornamental horticulture became amajor in 1989. By 1993, that major hadbeen changed simply to “horticulture.”The study of agriculture at Berry hasthus evolved as the educational needs ofour students — and the world in whichour students live — have evolved.Among recent changes in our animalscience program was our decision in2001 to devote the dairy herd toteaching and research rather than milkproduction. For a long period, the large,nationally recognized Berry dairy herdproduced milk that was sold. In recentyears, our faculty could not support theeducational value of producing milkbeyond our students’ need to studyanimal science. Therefore we reduced thedairy herd to 20 cows and used theproceeds of the sale of stock to equip acontemporary teaching and researchdairy at the Rollins Ruminant ResearchCenter. [Read more about the new dairyand the Normandy restoration on pages4 and 5.]Berry has just appointed a specialist inplant science to our faculty who has heldappointments in a school of agricultureand an agricultural extension service.Her arrival represents a shift from aconcentration upon horticulture toward afocus upon plant science as well asteaching and research in agriculture.Berry students who wish to developexpertise in horticulture can gainvaluable work experience on the college“As long as theenvironment mattersto us — that is,air quality, wise uses ofwater and land resources,waste management, aswell as food production —then scientific study ofagriculture will beimportant at Berry.”—DR. SCOTT COLLEYcampus, at Oak Hill and in ourhorticultural greenhouses, as do about80 students annually. The campus, OakHill and the college greenhousesrepresent wonderful learninglaboratories.The college still maintains a largeAngus herd that produces about 120calves annually. The cows exist for theacademic program, and not vice versa.Students learn genetics, anatomy andphysiology, and beef management fromacademic study as well as first-handexperience working with the cattle. Wehave a breeding program in our equineprogram that offers Berry studentsfurther laboratory opportunities. We alsomaintain 24 ewes, as Department ChairAllen Scott says, “To teach kids frominside the I-285 perimeter how to handleanimals.” Our students start small andwork up from there.Each year, four or five Berry studentsare accepted to veterinary medicineprograms. They tend to rise to the top oftheir classes because of their excellentclassroom education and frequentexperience with animals. Students atBerry spend more time with animals thando many students in graduate animalscience programs. About half of ouranimal science graduates eventually endup in graduate or professional study. Formany years, animal science has beenone of the most popular majors at Berry.We are confident that the new major thatcombines animal and plant science willbe an even more popular choice for ourstudents.The Berry agriculture faculty is madeup of five professors, three of whomhave won campus awards for excellentteaching. The professors are assisted byseven staff members who manage dairyand beef operations, the equestriancenter and horticultural greenhouses.These staff members serve as mentorsand laboratory instructors to Berrystudents who learn from first-handexperience in our various agriculturaloperations. We anticipate makinganother agriculture faculty appointmentin the future to strengthen an alreadyfine academic program.Berry is unusual in possessing a28,000-acre environmental scienceslaboratory. We have a fine new sciencebuilding and a strong natural scienceprogram that is complemented by ourstrong program in agriculture. As long asthe environment matters to us — that is,air quality, wise uses of water and landresources, waste management, as well asfood production — then scientific studyof agriculture will be important at Berry.Indeed, agricultural studies at Berry havenever been stronger, and prospects forour second century look bright. ■— DR.

BERRYPrivate bedrooms and bathroomsshared with only one roommate— not exactly what most collegegrads think of when they hear the words“residence hall,” is it?But that’s exactly the plan for a threestory,58,800-square-foot facilityplanned for Berry students, according toJoe Walton (62C, 76G), Berry’s vicepresident for finance.The residence hall project, which isexpected to be completed in time forclasses in the fall of 2003, will provideliving space for 122 students.The layout features two-, three- andfour-bedroom suites, each with a sharedHOME SWEET HOME-TO-BEkitchen, living room and dining room.Lounges and study areas will round outeach floor, providing gathering placesand a sense of community, according toDr. Thomas W. Carver, vice president forstudent affairs and dean of students. “Ibelieve this facility will be a model forother colleges. We’ve really done thingsright.”Dr. Carver added that the facility willrelieve the overcrowded conditions inother residence halls. “This newresidence hall will mean that we’ll nothave to continue crowding in studentsas we’ve been forced to do in recentyears,” Dr. Carver said. “It will also giveus the flexibility to repair otherfacilities in the summers.”The residence hall will be situatedat the southern border of the existingtownhouse complex, Mr. Walton said.The project, which will cost anestimated $6.8 million, will befinanced with a tax-exempt bondissue repaid over 20 years throughresidence hall fees paid by studentsliving in the facility. The Atlantabasedarchitectural firm O’Neal is incharge of the design, with WinterConstruction Company serving ascontractor for the project. ■— DAWN TOLBERTNEWSGIFT BOOSTSBERRY ABROADThanks. Gracias. Danke. Grazie. Merci.All are appropriate words for Berrystudents and faculty members to use inthanking a friend of the college, whoprefers not to be named, for a gift insupport of international learning valued at$3.2 million.The gift of income-producing propertywill generate an estimated $225,000 peryear, and it is the donor’s wish that thesefunds be used to expand study-abroadand cultural immersion experiences forBerry students and international researchand study opportunities for Berry facultymembers.“This very generous gift directlysupports one of the goals of our newstrategic plan,” said Berry President ScottColley. “That goal is to encourage facultyand student participation in internationalstudy, learning, work and service. Intoday’s global economy, it is critical thatour students are exposed to the worldbeyond Georgia and to cultures differentfrom their own. It is also imperative thatour faculty members have the opportunityto share ideas and exchange viewswith their peers from around the world.We are so very grateful to our longtimefriend, someone I respect greatly, forfinding yet another — and very generous— way to express his belief in Berry’senduring mission.” ■— KARILON L. ROGERSSUMMER RESEARCH PROGRAM ENDOWEDFOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCESFaculty and students studying the earth’s environment and human interactionswith it will have a wonderful new resource available to them next summer.The Laura Maddox Smith Research Institute for the Environmental Sciences willprovide funding for teams of Berry faculty and undergraduate students to conductresearch in the environmental sciences, according to Dr. Bruce Conn, dean of theSchool of Mathematical and Natural Sciences.“Research is a critical part of our curriculum,” Dr. Conn said. “Students can’t trulyunderstand the scientific enterprise unless they are actively engaged in seeking newknowledge for humanity. This new institute gives faculty and students theopportunity to do in-depth and concentrated study that far surpasses any they mightconduct during the academic year.”The institute was recently endowed by a very generous gift from Laura MaddoxSmith, a longtime friend and supporter of the college who is interested in thehealth of the environment, especially that of Northwest Georgia.The newly established institute will provide a stipend to each faculty team leader;funds for expendable materials, supplies and other expenses; and money allocated forthe faculty/student teams to travel to present their work at major conferences.Student researchers will received full-time summer pay through the Berry on-campuswork opportunity program. Dr. Conn said, “This program gives students the chance toearn money over the summer, gain experience and continue working on theirintellectual growth.”Each research team must be made up of at least one faculty member and twoundergraduate students. Participating students will experience the entire scope ofscientific research as first-hand participants, from the planning stages, through theexecution of the laboratory and field research, to the presentation of the results atscientific conferences.Faculty will benefit from having support for their research endeavors andexpanded interaction with their peers. With Berry’s exceptional physical andintellectual resources, Dr. Conn and others envision Berry becoming the laboratory formany of the world’s important research projects in the environmental sciences.“Part of our intention is to create a true 28,000-acre living laboratory on ourcampus,” Dr. Conn said. “No other college or university has this kind of naturalresource. This gift from Mrs. Smith has helped lay the groundwork for Berry to havea truly world-class environmental sciences program.” ■— DEBBIE RASUREPAUL O’MARA4

Spread butter onyour toast? Pour milk over yourcereal? If you did, then one day soonthe results of research conducted atBerry College’s Rollins RuminantResearch Center may find its way toyour breakfast table.Berry’s new facility, one of the mostsophisticated dairies in the world today,serves as a living laboratory for notonly those animal science studentspreparing to enter the dairy industry,but also those hoping to work in thepharmaceutical or feed industries, withcounty extension services or inveterinary medicine, according to Dr.Martin Goldberg, senior lecturer andcollege veterinarian.“The new dairy is a wonderfulteaching and research tool,” Dr.Goldberg said. “For example, we nowhave equipment that enables us tostudy how a cow’s diet affects milkquality and production. We’ll be able tolook at the effectiveness of vaccines andhow antibodies are transferred frommother cow to calf to build the calf’simmune system. We’ll be better able tomeasure the difference between musclesand fat to see how that affects taste.”What’s so different about this dairy?Quite simply — everything.Gone are the days when a studentworker crouched on bended knee in adank, dark barn to milk a cow by hand.Now at milking time, student workersherd Berry’s cows into a pristine, climatecontrolledmilking parlor. As each cowapproaches her own stainless-steelmilking stall, a transponder attached toher ankle sends her identification numberto the dairy’s computer system via anelectric eye mounted in the stall. Studentswash and sanitize her udders then attacha milking unit that looks something like afour-armed, stainless-steel octopus.As milking begins, computerizedinstruments measure milk flow and theamount of milk produced. They alsomeasure the conductivity of the milk —an indicator of disease. Even the cow’sactivity in the stall is assessed todetermine whether she is ready to bebred. When the milk flow slows, themilking machine automatically releases,and the milking unit flushes the systemand sanitizes it. The whole proceduretypically takes from three to eightminutes. Four cows can be milked at atime; 20 are in the milking herd.Once the milk leaves the cow, itflows through a pipelinesystem into a1,500-gallon milk tankrefrigeration unit to be collected forpasteurization and homogenization inAtlanta. From there it goes on toconsumers in Florida, Alabama andTennessee.According to Dr. Goldberg, Berry’sanimal science program is uniquebecause it offers a level of hands-onexperience that is uncommon in otheranimal science programs.Berry students learn in the classroomand then apply what they’ve learned inthe field. The new dairy makes itpossible for students to learn how toAdam Orr (02C) gained valuable experience at the dairy.ALUMS BUILD HIGH-TECH DAIRYuse modern technology to makeimportant decisions regarding the herd.“This new facility is helping us toredirect and improve our academicprogram,” said Dr. Goldberg. “It’sincredibly exciting because there’s somuch potential for our research to havea real impact on students’ careers, thedairy industry and ultimately on theconsumer.” ■— DEBBIE RASUREAfter many early mornings milking cows at the Normandy complex, building Berry’s newhigh-tech dairy was an especially meaningful experience for alumni Marshall Bryan(89C), left; Matt Walton (95C), center; and Jeff Green (87C).Returning to campus always stirs old memories for alums, but when LextronInc. employees Jeff Green (87C) and Matt Walton (95C) recently came back,they just couldn’t shake their sense of déjà vu.Working with Marshall Bryan, dairy manager, and Dr. Martin Goldberg, seniorlecturer and college veterinarian, the two were charged with designing and buildingBerry’s ultra-modern dairy. To them, it seemed just a few years ago that they wereworking in the dairy under Mr. Bryan’s supervision and learning all they could aboutanimal science in Dr. Goldberg’s classroom.It was a little like being in a time warp for all involved.“It’s really strange to come back as a professional and realize that you mightactually know more about something than they do,” Mr. Green said with a nervousglance at Mr. Bryan and Dr. Goldberg.“When he came to Berry, he’d never milked a cow before,” said Mr. Bryan, a1989 graduate who first came to Berry as a dairy employee. “Now he knows moreabout the milking industry than I ever will; it’s kind of weird.”Dr. Goldberg agreed and added, “It is very rewarding to have them back andusing their education and experience in a way that contributes to Berry. They’vedone an excellent job. I’m very proud of them.”Both Mr. Green and Mr. Walton said they had a real sense of excitement andpride in being able to bring Berry’s dairy operation into the 21st century. ■— DEBBIE RASUREPAUL O’MARAPAUL O’MARA5

BERRYNEW CONSTRUCTION AT NORMANDYCOMPLETES ORIGINAL PLANSShown above is the architect’s rendering of the interior of the former calf barn. To view a masterplan drawing of the retreat center, go to www2.berry.edu/pr/news/pressdetail.asp?ID=69.New construction at Berry’sNormandy Complex is bringingto life a dream that has goneunfulfilled for more than 70 years.In May, representatives from thecollege and the Chick-fil-A-sponsoredWinShape Foundation broke ground ontwo new buildings, which will provideadditional lodging facilities for theWinShape Retreat Center. The adaptivereuse project, funded by a major giftfrom the foundation, will transform thecollege’s former dairy into a 300-personretreat facility, which will host church,corporate and marriage-enrichmentretreats throughout Berry’s academicyear and the WinShape summer campfor girls when school is not in session.But, as Chick-fil-A Senior VicePresident Don “Bubba” Cathy told thecrowd during the groundbreakingceremony, the additional buildingsaren’t a new idea. They were, in fact,included in the complex’s original plansbut were never built.“We realized that the existingfacilities just weren’t going to provideenough dormitory space for our girlscamp, and we had figured out that we’dactually need two additional buildings.You can imagine our surprise when wefound the original plans and saw thatthose needed buildings were part ofMartha Berry’s original plan,” he said.The buildings, which will provide anadditional 15,000-square-feet ofhousing space, are part of the initialphase of construction for the WinShapeRetreat Center.In addition to the new structures,this section of the center will comprisea 78,000-square-foot campus that willfeature a quadrangle of sevenbuildings, including a dining hall,reception area and dormitories that alsocan be converted into bed-andbreakfast-stylebedrooms.The first stage of construction isexpected to be completed in the springof 2003, according to Chick-fil-Aofficials. For construction updates visitwww.winshape.com.Plans for the retreat facility wereannounced in April 2001, after thecollege decided to convert the BerryDairy into a more streamlined operationand combine it with the beef and sheepoperations in the Rollins RuminantResearch Center.The second development phase willfocus on improvements to the retreatcenter grounds and recreational areas.This phase will include the constructionof a new auditorium and the extensionof the pond and hillside that lieadjacent to the retreat center.Already completed are a coveredequestrian arena at Berry’s GunbyEquine Center and a recreationalwalking/bike path linking the main andmountain campuses.The WinShape Retreat Center willretain the architectural style of theoriginal Normandy facility.“Much time and effort are beingmade to convert the historic NormandyComplex into a top-quality retreatfacility without compromising ordisturbing the beauty and architecturalfeatures of the original Normandysetting,” said Mr. Cathy, who isspearheading the WinShape RetreatCenter project. “We couldn’t ask for abetter site for the retreat center. TheNormandy grounds provide a natural,scenic setting for a truly unique retreatfor a variety of family and businessrelatedfunctions.”Berry President Scott Colley describedthe retreat center project as a positivedevelopment for both WinShape andthe college. “Berry and Chick-fil-A haveenjoyed a good relationship for nearlytwo decades. Both organizationsstrongly believe in building programs todevelop young people. The WinShapeRetreat Center willcomplement the otherinitiatives that we have inplace that promote apositive influence on bothyoung people and adults.”Dr. Colley added thatthe WinShape RetreatCenter also will have apositive impact on thelocal community, as itwill serve as a muchneededmeeting andretreat facility forbusinesses andorganizations in theAtlanta-Birmingham-Chattanoogatriangle. “Floyd County currently hasonly one facility that is able to providemeeting and guest accommodations forlarge groups, and the WinShape RetreatCenter will be the perfect addition to ourcommunity.”Work on the adaptation of theNormandy buildings began in October2001, with Atlanta-based GayConstruction Company serving as thegeneral contractor and Surber,Barber, Choate and HertlineArchitects Inc. in charge of thearchitectural design. Workers aretaking care not to damage theoriginal materials that were usedin the dairy’s construction,according to Joe Walton (62C,76G), Berry’s vice president forfinance. While most of thebuildings are in stable condition,workers are cleaning the originalmaterials and bracing thestructures for many more yearsof use. ■— DAWN TOLBERTNEWSBerry President Scott Colley, left, and Chick-fil-Afounder Truett Cathy.PHOTOS BY PAUL O’MARA6

SPOTLIGHTALUMNIALUM DEFENDS U.S. INTERESTSAS NAVY JAG OFFICERCmdr. Alexander W. Whitaker IV in the courtroom.He didn’t fly a Tomcat or carry a 9mm automatic, but in 2001, withingenuity and persistence, Cmdr.Alexander W. Whitaker IV (81C), at thetime a staff judge advocate in the U.S.Navy’s Judge Advocate General (JAG)Corps, fought and won a battle thatothers had given up for lost.For more than 15 years, a sprawlingindustrial waste disposal facility locatedjust 250 yards away from the U.S.Navy’s Atsugi base and a denselypopulated Japanese neighborhood belchedcancer-causing dioxin-laden smoke thatlay like a stinking, dirty-gray blanketacross the landscape. Air quality was sohorrid that people had to seal theirwindows and on windy days werewarned not to go outside.The Japanese mafia-owned business,permitted to burn 30 tons of medicaland industrial waste a day, routinelyburned more than 200 tons a day whilethe Japanese government turned a blindeye. The 8,000 service men and womenand their families on the base located inYokosuka, Japan, as well as theJapanese residents living and workingnearby, needed a hero — and whenCmdr. Whitaker took up their cause,they got one.“His arguments won over seniorleaders in the Defense, State and Justicedepartments. For the first time, the UnitedStates sued a private entity overseas toprotect its citizens from environmentalharm,” said Rear Adm. Donald J. Guter,judge advocate general in the U.S. Navy.“Commander Whitaker managed thecase, a massive undertaking, with moreevidence than had ever been offered in anenvironmental lawsuit in Japan. And itwas successful,” Adm. Guter said. “Aproblem that had existed for over 15years Commander Whitaker solved in lessthan three. And thousands of people,including American sailors, their familiesand our Japanese neighbors, enjoy abetter, safer life because of what he did.”The late Dr. John Bertrand, formerBerry College president, played a“I’ve read about Berry’seducation of the ‘head,heart and hands,’ andI think it’s no accidentthat the qualities thathave made Alex such asuccess are the veryqualities his alma materis dedicated to developingin its students.”—REAR ADM. DONALD J. GUTERJUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL,U.S. NAVYsignificant role in Cmdr. Whitaker’s careerchoice. “If you knew Dr. Bertrand, youknew how important the Navy had beento his life,” Cmdr. Whitaker said. “I verymuch admired him. And his attributes –integrity, fair-mindedness, kindness,toughness, selflessness, dedication toyoung people, love of country — all thoseI inevitably associated with the Navybecause it had been such part of his life.When I left Russell Field five days aftergraduation to fly to Newport, R.I., to go toOfficer Candidate School, he surprised meby showing up. He put on an old saltyofficer’s cap and gave me a salute. Nosalute has ever meant more to me.”After completing Officer CandidateSchool, Cmdr. Whitaker wascommissioned a special duty intelligenceofficer and served three years aboard theUSS America, completing two fulldeployments to the Mediterranean Seaand Indian Ocean. In 1985, his careermoved in an even more excitingdirection. Cmdr. Whitaker was one of fiveofficers selected for the Navy’s fullyfundedlaw education program.“I entered the Navy as an intelligenceofficer and when I switched over to lawmy dad wryly observed that I had movedfrom one career of deception to another,”Cmdr. Whitaker said with a laugh. Hisfather, Dr. Alex Whitaker III, was anassociate professor of English at Berryfrom 1966 to 1982.After graduating from the University ofVirginia School of Law, Cmdr. Whitakerwas admitted to the Virginia Bar in 1988.He then completed Naval Justice Schoolwith honors and was commissioned inthe JAG Corps. Sharing in this adventurewith him are his wife, Maria CregoWhitaker (85c), and their three children,Andrew, 14; Emily, 12; and Michael, 9.During his career, Cmdr. Whitaker hasserved as the Navy’s legal counsel forLaw of the Sea and national securitymatters, as well as legal counsel for highlevelmilitary officers around the globe.Now he is the executive officer, secondin-commandof Trial Service Office East inNorfolk, Va., the Navy’s largest andbusiest court-martial prosecutioncommand. He and his 74-member team,which includes 31 attorneys, areresponsible for prosecutions in a 24-statearea that generates one-third of theNavy’s cases worldwide.“We don’t put officers in charge of somany junior judge advocates unless we’reabsolutely confident in their lawyeringskills and leadership abilities,” Adm.Guter said. “He’s incredibly bright andquick and is a superb writer and excellentspeaker. He’s tenacious and indefatigable,with a work ethic second to none. And heis one of the most decent folks in ourcorps — a natural leader who’s alwaysthinking of others, treating them withdignity, respect and understanding. I’veread about Berry’s education of the ‘head,heart and hands,’ and I think it’s noaccident that the qualities that have madeAlex such a success are the very qualitieshis alma mater is dedicated to developingin its students. We’re privileged to havemany dedicated young officers in the JAGCorps, but there’s no doubt about it: AlexWhitaker’s one of the best.” ■— DEBBIE RASURE7

CAMPUSEXCELLENCE ABOUNDS AT BERRYBerry physics professor Charles Lane is taking excellence to new heights— about 241 miles above the earth’s surface that is.Possibly as early as next year, Dr. Lane and co-investigators plan to useultra-precise clocks on the International Space Station to test a fundamentalassumption of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity.

SPOTLIGHTALUMNIMEETING NEEDS IS MUSIC TO HIS EARSWhen the citizens of Austin,Texas, recently celebratedPeyton Wimmer Day, theyapplauded the selfless success of a manwho saw a need and worked tirelessly tomeet it. That success, according to thehonoree, 1981 Berry College graduatePeyton Wimmer, was grounded in thelessons of Martha Berry and her schools.Seven years ago, Peyton joined aneffort to turn the tragic death-by-suicideof a fellow musician into momentum toprovide accessible mental health servicesto local musicians. In Austin, known asthe Live Music Capital of the World,musicians represent a large, medicallyunderserved population. A trainedtherapist as well as a songwriter andmusician, Peyton became director of thenew Sims Foundation, an organizationfunded by grants andgifts that providestherapeutic case managementand a network of mental healthsupport services for musicians.Peyton described his earlyefforts for the foundation as“working on a shoestring butaspiring to someday haveshoes.” He said that he hasbeen called the “King ofLeverage” in securing fundingfor needed services andinsists he learned it all fromBerry.“I have told the story ofMartha Berry over and overagain,” he said, “as I haveassured donors that we will get aminimum of three to five dollars worth ofbenefit out of each dollar they give.”He added that the music communityitself is the foundation’s greatestsupporter, also a lesson he learned atBerry, where “everyone was working inone way or another.”Now that the Sims Foundation is wellestablished, Peyton has turned his effortsto launching a new foundation aimed atmeeting the physical health care needs ofmusicians. Dr. Jack McConnell, theinventor of Tylenol who establishedVolunteers in Medicine — anorganization powered by retired healthprofessionals — and whose son PaigeMcConnell is keyboard player for thepopular band Phish, is his mentor in theproject. Martha Berry remains his rolemodel.It was his departure from the SimsFoundation that triggered PeytonCity councilman Raul Alvarez, right,presents Peyton Wimmer a proclamationthat names June 1, 2002, Peyton WimmerDay in Austin, Texas.Six-year-old Milo Wimmer, center, jams with his father,Peyton, second from left, during the Peyton Wimmer Daycelebration in Austin, Texas.Wimmer Day in Austin, which wascelebrated by the mayor and city councilas well as by several staterepresentatives and many members ofthe music community. “Thank youPeyton,” read a newspaperadvertisement signed by many —including Willie Nelson, “for saving lives,mending hearts and soothing souls forthe community of Austin musicians andtheir families.”“When I left Berry, I thought I wouldchange the world through my songlyrics,” he stated. “I don’t perform muchnow — usually only in fundraisers —but the spirit of my lyrics comes throughin my work.”Peyton and his wife, Karen, havethree children: Milo, 6; Lucy, 4; andWendy, 2. In addition to his degree fromBerry, he holds a master’s degree incounseling from Southwest TexasUniversity. He invites his fellow alumnito follow the progress of his clinic atmedicino.org and to e-mail him atpeyton@medicino.org. ■— KARILON L.

ALUMNIFROM BERRY COURTSHIP TO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONA TALE OF TWO: AUBREY & JUDY SILVEYAubrey (60c) and Judy Silvey (61C)Theirs is a love story.It is a saga peppered withsuccess — they have children andgrandchildren they adore and a thrivingcompany that does $50 million inbusiness annually throughout theWestern Hemisphere. But when it comesright down to it, theirs is a tale of two —of true life partners who have taken thebad with the good, weathered the upsand the downs, and enjoyed the ride asmuch as the destination.And it all started at Berry …Judy Muschamp (61C) was still inhigh school when Berry Collegefreshman T. Aubrey Silvey (60c) spottedher while working on a student workprogram crew in 1956. The daughter ofthen Berry purchasing director HerbertMuschamp, Judy had grown up oncampus. Aubrey, although unsure of hisfuture direction, came to Berry fromBreman, Ga., on the recommendation ofthe Carroll County extension agent.If it wasn’t love at first sight, it wasthe next closest thing — at least forAubrey. He discovered Judy’s identityand spent several months attempting tomeet her, always fearing he would saythe wrong thing and ruin his chances.When he finally made his move – a“blind” date arranged by his roommate,things went well, but he nearly blew it.“He didn’t call for two weeks after wewent out,” Judy moaned. “I later learnedhe didn’t have any money to take meanywhere and had to wait until he gothis pay.”And so their shared livesbegan. But it wasn’t easyat first.Aubrey decided to leaveBerry after a year. Heworked in the machineshop at Southwire inCarrollton, Ga., a job thatwas dirty and hot. “I couldsee an air-conditioned,glassed-in room where themen wore ties, and I askedwhat jobs they had,” hesaid. “They wereengineers, and I knew thatwas the kind of job Iwanted.”Aubrey ended up atwhat is now SouthernPolytechnic StateUniversity earning adegree in civil engineering,while Judy studied homeeconomics at BerryCollege. “I made tracks toBerry every weekend,” hesaid.“My mother told me time and again,‘Don’t you keep that boy from gettingan education or you’ll regret it the rest ofyour life,’” Judy stated.Judy and Aubrey were married theday after his graduation — at Berry’sFrost Chapel. But things still weren’teasy.Aubrey headed right to boot camp forthe Marine Corps Reserve, while Judystill had a year to finish at Berry —where married students were not yetpermitted. Judy requested permissionfrom the college’s board to finish hereducation. “I was the first legal marriedstudent at Berry,” she chuckled.The couple eventually settled nearCarrollton where she initially workedwith the local extension service and hefor Richards and Associates, the parentfirm of Southwire. They reveled in theadoption of son, David, in 1966, anddaughter, Julie, in 1968. Life was good,and by 1971, Aubrey had risen toassistant vice president in charge ofsubstation construction. When his bossdied unexpectedly, however, Aubreychose to strike out on his own — orrather with Judy.The couple took every cent of their lifesavings, $24,000, to start a substationconstruction company. He began totravel extensively. With a baby indiapers and hands already full, Judyjoined in, handling all the paperwork andother necessary details so her husbandcould be on the road. A full six monthslater they landed their first job —building a substation in a soybean fieldin South Carolina.The new company prospered — atfirst from their dining room table andthen from an office behind their home —and took a significant risk in 1983 whenit purchased a substation connectorsupplier. Following his 1985 graduationfrom a three-year Harvard BusinessSchool Owner/President Managementprogram, however, Aubrey began toexpand the business in earnest, alwayswith Judy at his side.Today, Aubrey Silvey Enterprises Inc.has five divisions, three subsidiaries,250 employees and operations in bothNorth and South America and isconsidered one of the premierconstruction, manufacturing andengineering companies serving theelectric utility industry. And not only is ita successful corporation, it is a companybuilt on a foundation of ethics, withextensive succession planning.Ethics are important to both of theSilveys and something they credit Berryfor helping to solidify in their lives.“The values that are the core of Berrymay not have seemed important to mewhen I was there, but they have stuckwith me and have had a large impactand influence on my life,” Aubrey said,listing them as honesty, integrity,truthfulness, friendship and faith. Theyhave fostered success: He has receivednumerous honors applauding his style ofleadership.The Silveys now have handed thecompany’s presidential reins to theirplanned successor and turned thecompany over to its employees via anEmployee Stock Ownership Plan.Aubrey remains chairman of the board,while Judy serves on the boards of theparent corporation and its subsidiaries.Both are extremely active in civic andchurch organizations. Aubrey also isvice chairman of the Berry College Boardof Visitors.While they have stepped back a bitfrom the torrid pace of their early years,the Silveys remain extremely active.“Our children told us they don’t everwant to have to work as hard as wedid,” Judy said. “I told them not to feelsorry for us — we did what we wantedto do.”And they still do. Today they travelextensively, improve their lovely 450-acre estate and spend as much time aspossible with the new lights of their lives— their four grandchildren. And they arealways looking forward to the next oflife’s adventures — together. ■— KARILON L. ROGERSSPOTLIGHT10
