Cumberlite - 2012 Spring

Central Florida alumni and Former
Staff Gather in orlando
Brought together by their shared roots, a group of
about thirty alumni, former staff along with friends
and family members gathered to enjoy some time
together at the Florida Hospital SDA Church on
Saturday afternoon, February 11.
Many of the group attended the church service,
where they were blessed by the preaching of Andy
McDonald, ’73. Following the church service, alumni
and friends started gathering together to network,
reconnect, and meet new people who share a love for
Georgia-Cumberland Academy.
What is it that brings people out for an event like
this? Kathy Cross Sanderford, ’74 and her husband
drove from across the state to come and won the
prize for driving the farthest for the event. Kathy
said, “I just want to keep in touch with my roots and
the places that helped me become who I am. Plus, it
was a nice get away!”
Thanks to all who attended the Florida GCA
Alumni event this year!
Andy (‘73) and Vickie McDonald enjoyed visiting with Danny and
Kathy (‘74) Cross Sanderford.
Jan Spivey Campbell, ‘66, was excited to see the Westfalls, who were
on the staff at GCA the first year it opened.
Good food + great friends = a wonderful alumni event!
Before saying “goodbye,” we paused for one last photo of the Florida
group.
Thanks to all the faithful alumni and friends who come out to our
Florida event!
Greg Gerard with former students Ale Canizales, Paula Thompson,
Shadelle Loiten and Daphne Edwards, all class of 2007.
