Inspire, Fall 2002

Inspire 11 Portland, Maine July 20 Eighteen people met at Hadlock Field for a Michelle Tumes concert followed by a Portland Sea Dogs baseball game. The concert was a great time of worship, and the game was a fun one, although the Sea Dogs lost 4-0. The group decided to leave the park in the top of the eighth inning and re-group for dinner at The Macaroni Grill. Richland, Washington July 26 A group of more than 20 alumni met at the home of Chad ’96 and Becky Seguin Eder ’94. Also joining the alums was Cedarville University’s own Master’s Puppets team. The reunion brought together alums from classes ranging from 1976 to 2004. Lincoln Park, Michigan July 27 Cedarville alumni attended a concert presented by Cedarville’s Abundant Life Singers at First Baptist Church in Lincoln Park. Following the concert, a dessert reception was hosted in the church fellowship hall by Patty Leipprandt Murphy ’83. Grand Haven, Michigan August 2 More than 30 alumni, 11 new students, and their families joined the Ed Spencers and the Harold Greens at Pottowattomi Park in Grand Haven. This “Picnic in the Park” event was a time to reminisce with old friends and enjoy getting to know new ones. Dick Walker ’74 provided a brief update on life in the ’Ville and distributed gifts and prizes. The picnic was put together by Randy ’81 and Deb Bubel Strobridge ’83, who live in the Grand Haven area. Cedarville, Ohio Cedarville University Second Generation Dinner August 23 More than 150 people attended a dinner honoring alumni who brought their children to Cedarville as new students during Getting Started Weekend. Recipients of the Second Generation Scholarship were recognized, two of which are actually Third Generation students. Alumni especially enjoyed fellowship with former Campus Pastor Harold (P.G.) Green and Professor of English Ed Spencer. Dayton, Ohio August Dayton alums often get to read of all the other alumni gatherings taking place around the U.S. and abroad, but have been overlooked ... until now! In the month of August, more than 100 alumni took part in six dinners and a Dayton Dragons game hosted by various representatives from the ’Ville. Even Ed Spencer made a showing at one of the dinners, and needless to say, he was a big hit. Thank you, Ed! Cincinnati, Ohio August 28 Dave Bartlett and Jeff Brock ’84 hosted 16 Heritage Alums and friends at the General Electric Activities Park for an 18-hole scramble. A team led by Jay Fry ’51 won this Heritage Golf Outing. Stories of Cedarville in the 1940s and 1950s abounded, including an explanation of college basketball’s “Greatest Stall,” which is attributed to Cedarville (or so we were told!) Indianapolis, Indiana August 29 The Indianapolis Indians game was the site for 200 alumni and friends to come together for an evening of baseball and fellowship. Many Cedarville staff and students also enjoyed the fellowship and the game, which went into extra innings. Indy alums: watch for more information on the December 7 Christmas at the Zoo event.
