She recently expanded the business, opening Expectations Too next door in Brookhaven. The new store carries juniors and women’s clothing and accessories. Warren says Co-Lin helped her discover and develop her leadership skills during her extra-curricular activities, as well as in the classroom. “I made life-long friendships at Co-Lin that I will forever treasure,” Warren said. “I loved [Science instructor] Dr. Phyllis Lanier, who was the person who encouraged me to change my major to public relations and marketing beWarren then cause she saw that gift in me.” Warren has been married to her husband, Beck for 20 years.

r. Chris Collins (’05) of Memphis, Tenn., is an alum who is remembered well by his former classmates and instructors. Besides the fact that he was a part of almost every extra-curricular club or organization available, Collins is described by many of his former peers as just an allaround great guy. At Co-Lin, Collins was editor of the Trillium yearbook, vice president of leadership for Phi Theta Kappa, vice president of the President’s Council, president of the
ike Lusk (’54) of Wesson is about to celebrate 60 years since his graduation from Co-Lin. He is also a 1952 graduate of Co-Lin Agricultural High School. While at Co-Lin, Lusk was a member of the basketball team, the baseball team, YMCA and Phi Theta Kappa. After Co-Lin, Lusk graduated from Mississippi Lusk then State University with a degree in civil engineering and retired from a career as a professional engineer in 1995. He was a senior project manager, specializing Lusk today in industrial plants and marine facilities. Today, Lusk enjoys his retirement, which consists of fishing, attending CoLin athletic events, and maintaining the home place where he grew up in Beauregard. He is a member of the Co-Lin Foundation Hall of Fame and endowed the Michael Lusk Pre-engineering Scholarship in 1991. He is active in the Co-Lin Athletic Alumni Association, in which he is a past president, and he was selected as Co-Lin’s Alumnus of the Year in 2006.

He is married to the former Lynette Garney and they have two children, Michael, Jr. and Stacye, and four grandchildren. ngie Fisher Warren (‘92) of Brookhaven is known as a local business leader today, but it was her experience as a student leader at Co-Lin that helped her discover her strengths in management and marketing.

She was selected as a member of Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges.

He is currently completing his neurology Collins today residency at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. Collins says of his time at Co-Lin, “I made the right choice by starting my college career at Co-Lin. I wouldn’t trade those years for anything.” He says his experience in serving in Phi Theta Kappa taught him the importance of service to the community, and Collins plans to continue on with that role as soon as he is able. “Now with my busy work schedule, it’s very hard for me to be as involved as I was in college,” Collins said. “I soon plan to start volunteering as a physician in one of the free clinics here in Memphis which focuses on providing primary medical care to the homeless and poor.” In case anyone has been wondering, “Whatever happened to Chris Collins?” it appears he is still that all-around great guy that everyone remembers.
