Our Florida Folks The annual gathering of Rio’s Florida-residing alumni was held on Saturday, February 25, at the Anna Maria Oyster Bar in Bradenton. The group welcomed Interim President Greg Sojka, and new attendees John Lambcke ’91, Naples; Ruth Burton ’62, Bradenton; and Lenore Evans Deak ’77, Leesburg. Fowler Alumni House Pictured l-r: Ruth Burton, Delbert “Smokey’” Stover ’45, Glenn Cundiff, and Lenore Evans Deak The Alumni Office has relocated to the renamed Fowler Alumni House, located on the campus on State Route 325. A gift to the University, the structure is named in honor of Marie Fowler Richards ’25, a loyal friend of the University and the village of Rio Grande, who passed away in 2004, at the age of 101. Roberts House Pictured l-r: Dr. Greg Sojka, Robert “Smokey” Wion, Jim ’57 and Kathy Lemley Shaw ’54, Alice Larter McNeal ’53, and husband, George, and Leah Thompson Wion ‘59 “Upon This Land” Ornament A limited edition, third in a series (of six), ornament featuring an exact reproduction of the Alumni Bell Tower’s stained glass window “Upon This Land,” showcasing the hills and valleys upon which Rio Grande College was built, has been issued, and is now available for purchase. Ornaments are $15, and may be purchased at the Alumni Office, or by mail using the form at right. Please add $1.50 per item for postage. Ornaments are individually gift-boxed. The demolition of Roberts House will provide necessary space for the impending construction and expansion of the Davis University Center, set to begin in June 2006. In the past, the facility had housed the Offices of Admissions and University Relations.
