The Mobile County Alumni Chapter held three events this spring. Head Football Coach Bobby Wallace was the key note speaker for the chapter’s spring meeting on April 3 at Gordon Oaks at Knollwood. Coach Wallace spoke about the Tigers gearing up for the fall after a rebuilding year which saw the Tigers go 6 -5 during his first year at the Tiger helm. Coach Wallace also spoke about how the atmosphere in Livingston is right for the teams success. Coach Wallace is the only head coach in NCAA history to win back-to-back-to-back National Championships. On June 5 the chapter sponsored a social at the Bluegill Restaurant and Bar in Spanish Fort, Alabama. More than 50 alumni and guests enjoyed great food and fellowship while taking in the sunset on the water. The Chapter’s annual golf tournament was held at the Spring Hill College Golf Course on Saturday, June 9. The tournament saw 64 golfers and numerous volunteers work together to raise money for the chapter’s scholarship fund. “We had a great turnout at this year’s tournament,” said Chapter President Dr. Bob Clardy. “Especially when you consider the hot temperatures everyone had to endure.”

The Mobile County Alumni Chapter has been the largest and most active chapter for several years. Under the leadership of alum, Dr. Bob Clardy (’54), this chapter has raised more than $75,000 for scholarships! The chapter will hold its fall meeting the second Tuesday of October.
