IN MEMORIAM What was the best part about spending seven days on a Western Caribbean cruise with more than 100 Cedarville alumni and friends? It might be enjoying breakfast in the open air overlooking breathtaking views of the ocean … and watching Jim Cato ’83 fall asleep in his chair on deck following a vigorous morning of leading worship. It could be sharing gourmet dinners (and birthday cakes) with friends you haven’t seen in a while or new friends you just met. It could be sharing funny college memories and exciting plans for the future with members of our alumni council, Todd Fogle ’92 and Tisha (Tapp) Smith ’01 . It could be swimming with dolphins, walking through a colorfully crowded market, scuba diving, or relaxing on the beach. But, the best moments were actually gathering together to pray and reading through God’s Word under the guidance of amazing biblical scholars Thomas White, Bob Gromacki, and Rob Turner as well as hearing from inspiring alumni Bob ’88 and Dannah (Barker) Gresh ’89 . You learn a lot about people when you spend seven days on a ship together. It was a good reminder of how fortunate we are to be part of the Cedarville family. Consider joining us for our next cruise in 2017 and relax, reconnect, and be reenergized! Cedarville President Thomas White and his wife, Joy, enjoyed their first Friends for Life Cruise. More than 100 alumni and friends boarded the Norwegian Sun for a fun week in the sunny Caribbean. Spring/Summer 2015 | Cedarville University
