Where Are They Now?<br />
<strong>Woodward</strong> alumni often share memories of faculty and staff, whose<br />
influence on shaping lives really can’t be overstated. We at <strong>Woodward</strong><br />
magazine thought it would be fun to provide some news of retired<br />
faculty and staff:<br />
Bob Ballentine has been active in city and county government in Hiram, Ga., since his retirement in 1990.<br />
He enjoys spending time with his three grandsons and one great-grandson.<br />
Pete Fritts Sr. celebrated 50 years of marriage to his wife, Page, last summer.<br />
The anniversary celebration, held at Flat Creek Club in Peachtree<br />
City, included 146 relatives and friends from 13 different states. Twenty<br />
current and former members of the <strong>Woodward</strong> faculty were among<br />
the guests. Following the celebration, the couple took an anniversary<br />
trip to Greece. Coach Fritts began coaching at <strong>Woodward</strong> as a volunteer<br />
in 1978, while he was still on active duty with the U.S. Army at<br />
Fort McPherson. In 1980, he accepted a full-time position as teacher<br />
and coach. The couple’s two children, Deborah ’81 and Peter ’83,<br />
are <strong>Woodward</strong> alumni, and Pete Fritts Jr. is now a teacher and coach at<br />
<strong>Woodward</strong>. Grandchildren Teagan and Hayden are <strong>Woodward</strong> students.<br />
Former President Tom Jackson and his wife, Vicky,<br />
have taken horseback journeys on five continents,<br />
encountering many adventures along the way, including<br />
being charged by a bull elephant while riding in Kenya,<br />
swimming on horseback in the Mara River with hippos<br />
50 feet away, riding along a religious pilgrimage route in<br />
Spain, visiting ninth century churches carved into caves in<br />
Turkey, herding cows and horses in Argentina, and riding<br />
through the coastal redwoods in California and along the<br />
St. Lawrence River in Quebec. In Mexico, the Jacksons<br />
saw monarch butterflies hibernating near Valle de Bravo.<br />
“The ride in Kenya was during the great migration. We<br />
galloped many times with the wildebeast and zebras very<br />
near us,” Mr. Jackson said. He and his wife enjoy experiencing the world on horseback. “All your senses<br />
are engaged—touch, sight, hearing, and smell—as you move as a part of nature,” he said. “I believe deeply<br />
in staying active and continuing to learn new things as one gets older.”<br />
Selma Ridgway, retired Transition Program Director, spent a week on a mission trip to the island of<br />
La Gonâve, off the coast of Haiti. The mission group worked on projects to provide health screenings<br />
and safe drinking water.<br />

Lacey Agnew ’06<br />
Makes LPGA Debut<br />
Lacey Agnew ’06 began playing golf at age 11. Now, at age 24,<br />
Lacey has realized her dream of becoming a professional golf player.<br />
Lacey received her <strong>2012</strong> Ladies Professional Golf Association<br />
(LPGA) status after finishing 21 st at stage three of the PGA Tour<br />
Qualifying Tournament, also known as<br />
Q-school, in Florida. With her LPGA<br />
card in hand, Lacey is eligible to play<br />
in nine events this season.<br />
“My number one goal is to play well<br />
enough to keep my card,” says Lacey.<br />
“I am very excited about the upcoming<br />
season. Being on the LPGA is something<br />
I have dreamed of. Now that I have<br />
made it, I am ready to get out there and compete against the world’s best.”<br />
Though Lacey admits she didn’t really fall in love with the game of<br />

golf until she went to Florida State University, where she tied the university’s all-time low record with a<br />
65 in one round, she says playing golf at <strong>Woodward</strong> gave her the experience she needed. “It showed me<br />
that I had the ability to play at the highest level,” she says.<br />
Lacey led the War Eagles to three consecutive Class AAAA championships as a sophomore, junior, and<br />
senior. As a senior, she birdied the 18 th hole on the final day to help <strong>Woodward</strong> earn a two-stroke win for<br />
the state championship. “That is my best memory of <strong>Woodward</strong>,” says Lacey. She also earned letters in<br />
basketball and one each in volleyball and softball. Lacey started the LPGA tour in March.
