Commemorative book chronicles alumni excellence
I
t was a celebration worthy of a book, so Grove City College’s Alumni Office printed one: Jack Kennedy Memorial Alumni Achievement Award: Honoring Alumni for 50 Years (1964-2014). The 96-page coffee table book debuted at the awards dinner on the Friday evening of Homecoming Weekend. It features a photo and brief biography of each of the award’s 167 winners. The book also includes a history of the awards program and photos of numerous award presentations through the 50 years. Eighth College President Richard G. Jewell ’67 wrote a tribute to his friend and award namesake Jack Kennedy. “As an Alumni Council member,” Jewell wrote, “I worked with Jack from 1968 on. He was organized, skillful and fun to be around. For him it wasn’t a 9-to-5 job but a calling – a calling he fulfilled with loyalty, respect and love for Grove City College and for those with whom he worked.” Senior Director of Alumni and College Relations Melissa (Trifaro ’96) MacLeod said, “Our 50th Anniversary Commemorative Book has given us the opportunity to highlight the tremendous achievements of our winners throughout the last five decades. Each of these alumni started their journey here on the campus of Grove City College, and each has taken a different path in his or her chosen Jack Kennedy ’37 field. These winners have brought such honor to our alma mater. I am so happy we could recognize and celebrate this achievement.” Copies of the book were given to winners, saved in the College library and archives, and placed in well-trafficked areas for public viewing. It is also available for online viewing at alumni.gcc.edu.
