Kenneth Butler ’82, writes, “How can it be that 36 years have passed since I graduated from Andrew College? My memories of this wonderful school, and the great times that I had as a student, are some of the most precious I have collected over the course of my lifetime. I have heard it said that each of us has two homes: one to which we are physically born, and the other that place and time when we realize (with absolute clarity) who we are, and who we were created to be. I found my ‘life path’ and steady footing at Andrew College, the true starting point for my onward journey. In all of my subsequent travels around the globe, I have yet to find a sweeter spot than the campus of Andrew College – ‘where the spires of old Cuthbert pierce the Southern blue.’ As a career educator I know, very well, the tremendous importance of a sound education. After serving many years in the classroom, I am now retired and ‘living large.’ My wife and I have three children, ages 25, 20, and 7. It sure would be nice to hear from some A.C. classmates 1980-1983. God bless Andrew College!!
