The President's
Afew days ago, I received a letter from a student I had not heard from in over 20 years. She told me she learned some things in my classes that she had not fully appreciated until these 20 years. And so is the relationship between professors and former students, or alumni. The wonderful thing about being a teacher is that your labors are repaid over and over again by the achievements of your students.
I wrote back to Wendy telling her that among the wonderful things that have happened to me over these 20 years was hearing from my former students. I am sure I speak for all teachers and certainly for the faculty at Georgia Southwestern. If you have not been in touch lately or if you have not been back to visit the campus in a while, please come and see us. We want to hear from you. That is our greatest reward.
This spring our Alumni Weekend is going to be part of our Spring/est - a time when we celebrate the good things about Georgia Southwestern and recognize the achievements of our faculty, students, and alumni. We are proud of you. We know that what you have accomplished you have done through your efforts and yours alone, but we share in your
accomplishments and like to think that we helped get you started.
I hope that we can be together during Alumni Weekend so that you can see what a distinguished company we make when we get together. Our alumni are 20,000 strong. We make our lives in many states and countries around the world. We are doctors and lawyers and accountants and nurses, teachers, ministers, computer scientists, chemists and pharmacists. Indeed, we come from all walks of life and an amazing range of achievement. We even include in our ranks a United States President, First Lady, and a United States Attorney General. Through those gates in front of the Administration Building many people have passed and gone on to distinction. It is really quite amazing what the graduates from this College in this small community have achieved. The success of each one of you is the success of this College. Come back, be with us, and take pride in Georgia Southwestern and yourself as one of our distinguished alumni.

Spotlight On Ed Heys
If the editors of Webster's Dictionary ever decided to put a photo next to the word "success," there's a good chance the picture they would choose to serve as an illustration of their definition would be of Ed Heys.
Heys, who graduated from Southwestern with a two-year degree in 1955, joined the U.S. Navy shortly after his graduation. He served for three years and then enrolled at Georgia Tech. He left Tech after several quarters when, "I realized I was playing more golf than going to school."
Deciding that a few quarters off would be good for him, Heys made another decision that would dramatically impact his future, and eventually lead him to the presidency of one of the largest metal supply companies in the nation. The year was 1959. "I saw an ad in the paper which said Tull Metal Company was
hiring people for its accounting department. I went, interviewed, and took a job as an entry-level accountant with the intention of working for about six months, saving some money, and then returning to school."
Instead, Heys stayed on at Tull, later earning his bachelor's degree in accounting at Georgia State University. Today, he oversees the operations of a $400 million company which employs over 1200 people nationally and has 20 branch offices throughout the Southeast, including operations in Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, and Oklahoma City. The rise to the top has been rewarding to Heys in many ways, but he says what most pleases him is the fact that, "I have never had to compromise my integrity in my 33 years with this company. The company was founded and led by men who were great
leaders and good businessmen."
J.M. Tull Metal Company was founded in 1913 as an industrial supply house. In the 1920's, it became the Alcoa aluminum distributor for the Atlanta area. It currently serves customers throughout the world and stocks over 30,000 different metal "mill form" items ranging from aluminum stripping to custom-made pipes and other metal fixtures. Heys says the company has a very simple policy: "All we've got to sell is service. To be successful, the customer has to be the first thing on your mind when you wake up and the last thing you think about before you go to bed."
Walking through the Atlanta plant and warehouse with Heys, it is obvious that he has a remarkable rapport with his employees. He makes a point of speaking to each and every employee he sees. Often, he will stop and inquire
about an employee's health or to ask if a son or daughter has graduated from college yet. His eyes light up when one employee tells him that a daughter is one quarter away from graduating from the University of Georgia. "That's fantastic," Heys says, congratulating the man and patting him on the back. "Be sure to tell her I said hello."
Later, back in his office, Heys elaborates on his relationship with his employees. "I like to get out on the floor and talk to the people who work for this company," he says. "We have some of the best people in the world working for us. The people part of the businessemployees and customers - is probably the most enjoyable aspect of my job."
Heys is originally from Americus, and still maintains close ties to the community. He recalls fondly his days in high school and the fact that he met his wife in Americus. "I could look for the rest of my life and never find a more wonderful woman than the one I married," he says, leaning back in his chair and smiling from ear to ear as he talks about her and his two sons, both of whom seem to be following in their father's successful path. The oldest is a senior manager with an Atlanta accounting firm and engaged to be married in June, while the younger son is currently at Georgia State, working on his M.B.A. degree.
Clearly, Heys has much to be thankful
for, and in his typically humble manner, he gives the credit to others. "The Lord is a major part of it," he says. Heys and his wife are active in the Dunwoody Baptist Church. In addition, Heys is past president of the local chapter of the Rotary Club. "Another reason I've been reasonably successful is that I've simply
'I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world. ''
been lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time." A lot of hard work, however, would also seem to be a major component of Heys' rise in the business world. He is at work most mornings by 6:30 and is always in motion, either on the floor of a warehouse, on the road to one of the company's other plants, or on the phone with a customer.
When asked what advice he would give to a young person on the verge of graduating, Heys thinks for a moment and then begins to speak. "I think young people have a tendency to want things
too quickly, and I understand that; impatience is a natural thing for a young person. But in order to succeed, I think you need commitment and patience. If you're loyal to a company, do good work, and make a commitment to learn as you move up, you will get where you want to be sooner or later. The real keys are patience and dedication."
What, you might ask, does the future hold for Ed Heys. "I'm not exactly sure," Heys says with a laugh. "I've achieved more than I ever thought I would. The one thing I always wanted was to be president of this company and here I am. I'm very fortunate in that respect, because I'm doing what I love to do. I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world.
"I'm not sure I'll wait until 65 to retire," Heys continues. "I want time to take life a little easier. But I've gotta tell you, I'll always cherish the times I've been a part of this company."
Heys leans back in his chair and smiles one of his easygoing, relaxed smiles. "I've been blessed twelvefold," he says. And somehow, watching him, you just know that whatever happens to Ed Heys in the years ahead, he'll always be having a good time, sharing his unique warmth with others and continuing to distinguish himself not only as a businessman, but also as a true

JIM RAY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED
An endowed scholarship in memory of a beloved and respected young Americus man has been established at Southwestern.
The Jim Ray Scholarship was established by Mr. and Mrs. James Ray of Americus to memorialize their son who passed away in September of 1990 following a year-long battle with cancer. He was 22.
Mr. Melvin Kinslow, headmaster at Southland Academy where Jim attended high school, remembered Jim fondly. "Jim lived next door to me all of his life, and I had the good fortune of seeing him grow from a boy to a man. I watched him participate in sports at Southland.
He loved athletics and was a tough football player. He played on three state championship teams in golf. I remember him as being a highly competitive but friendly young man who was liked by all," Kinslow said. "All who knew him are better people because he came our way."
According to the criteria emblished for administration of the memorial schol'arship, the recipient must be an entering freshman who has been
accepted to GSW and is in good standing with the college and his or her community; must be enrolled as a fulltime student; and must have demonstrated academic competency, a commitment to learning, discipline, and the appreciation and ability to enjoy the gift of life, a quality which Jim displayed in every aspect of his life.
In keeping with the Ray family's wishes, the first scholarships will be awarded to student-athletes who demonstrate academic proficiency and athletic skills in the sport of golf. The intent is to help establish and foster the growth of the newly-formed varsity golf program at Southwestern.
Representatives of the college, in consultation with the Ray family, will decide the .annual recipient or recipients of the scholarship.
Those wishing to contribute to the scholarship fund should forward their gifts to the GSW Foundation in support of the Jim Ray Scholarship Fund.

Your Will Can Make A Difference
Your thoughtful and loving concern can make a difference for your loved ones if you have taken the time to ensure you have a current will. Having a will can ensure that your assets are distributed to your loved ones in the manner you desire. A current will can prevent emotionally trying, timeconsuming and frustrating encounters with the legal system in the distribution of your assets. A will can provide substantial savings in inheritance and It is estimated that between 50-70 percent of people in this country do not have wills.

For many alumni, it is a time when they reflect on their life experiences and recognize the valuable role that education has played in their lives.

Few things could be more important to our country than our young people and providing them the best education we can.
Over the years, thanks to people like yourself and other alumni, the GSW Alumni Association has provided hundreds of scholarships to many bright students who have gone on to become

Outstanding Students
Non-Traditional Student WANABROWN
Being a college student can sometimes be a huge burden for any young person, but for the nontraditional student, the weight is often even heavier. Many are trying to balance their quest for an education with a fulltime job, a family, and other responsibilities which come with being a full-fledged grown-up.
For those reasons, the people who choose to earn an education at a time in their lives when many people are already well-settled into a career are often exceptionally strong, determined, and inspiring.
For Wana Brown, earning a bachelor's degree in business was the culmination of a dream she had postponed when she was younger. Brown, who currently works as an inventory management specialist at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, GA, says she was initially very intimidated when she made the decision to start college. "To begin with, I felt out of place. I would listen to students talking before class and feel left out. But I made an effort to try and talk to them about things they were interested in, and before long, I had made lots of friends."
In addition to her job, Brown is also married and trying to gain custody of her three-year-old nephew, Laique. She says her husband of 17 years, Eddie, was very supportive of her decision to return to school. "Eddie understood that I didn't want to be a secretary for the rest of my life, and that if I was going to advance in my career, I would have to earn my degree. From the beginning, he was there to cheer me on and help lighten the load on me."
BROWN
Not only did Brown earn her degree in 1990, she was also named Outstanding Business Student by the GSW Division of Business. When she graduated, she did so Magna Cum Laude, the highest academic honor any graduate can receive.
When asked to offer advice to young people who are uncertain what direction to take, Brown is emphatic in her response: "Don't wait as long as I did to decide (you want an education.) Ask around, find someone who can serve as a mentor for you, and get involved in something productive, no matter what it ,, IS.
Wana Brown may be a non-traditional student, but her accomplishments, her commitment to bettering herself, and her dedication to earning a college degree are qualities we can all admire in a student, no matter what their age may be.
Traditional Student LYNN TANNER
Many students achieve great things during their college careers, but some achieve more than others.
Lynn Tanner is one of those others. Tanner, who will graduate in June with a bachelor's degree in computer information systems, currently holds a 3. 79 grade point average and a strong desire to enter the workplace and take the world by storm.
TANNER
One thing is obvious from talking to Tanner: she is a bright, highly-motivated young lady who has prepared well for her future. In addition to her major in computer information systems, Tanner has also taken enough courses in accounting to qualify her for the CPA exam following her graduation. She also works part-time at a local department store and says she plans to stay close to Americus after she graduates. "Americus is home to me. I have family here and I like the town very much. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a job with one of the local industries, or, if not, with a company not too far from here."
Tanner, who graduated 10th in her class at Americus High School in 1986, received an alumni scholarship which helped enable her to realize her dreams. "The scholarship was a tremendous help," she says.
As if her achievements in the classroom weren't enough, Tanner is also a vocal Southwestern supporter. "The personal attention you receive here as a student is one of the reasons this is such a great place to go to college. You feel like a person instead of a number. I am very satisfied with the education I've received at GSW. Now, I want to take what I've learned and apply it to a career."
With her intelligence, initiative, and personal charm, it's hard to imagine anything this young lady isn't capable of achieving.
