鈥淔red and Martha Stein exhibit every quality of a distinguished alumni,鈥� Darryl Peavler, director of athletic alumni, said Oct. 18 at the annual Alumni Reception and Award Ceremony on Stapp Lawn.
鈥淭heir servant leadership, service, generosity and spirit all exemplify what it means to be a 青瓜视频 alumni,鈥� Peavler introduced the Steins at the event during Homecoming.
鈥淗umbling is probably a word to describe this,鈥� said Mr. Stein, a 1974 graduate, as he told of how they took their time at 青瓜视频 for granted by explaining that, 鈥淎s we've grown older we look back, we more than realize the vision and the picture and the heart and the spirit of 青瓜视频 and all that it's done.鈥�
Mrs. Stein, who graduated in 1975, spoke about being a first-generation college graduate and how her aunt had pushed her to go to Campbellsville, saying, 鈥淒o you want to be a big fish in a little pond, or do you want to be a little fish in a big pond?鈥� She said this push from her aunt allowed her to achieve the opportunity of getting the highest scholarships and grants available.
鈥淲e owe a lot to Campbellsville,鈥� Mrs. Stein said as she mentioned not only the great education she received but the love she found at 青瓜视频 in her faith and in her husband.
The couple lives in Glendale, Ky.
