Just wondering who went to Trevecca and what years you attended. I attended 1981-84 and graduated in 1984. I now have a daughter(Kylie) that is a sophomore at TNU. Last week while there, I took a walk around campus. I couldn't help but notice that it is about two to three times the size overall than it was even when I was there.

Overall, I'm thankful for our Nazarene schools. I wouldn't have an education without them. Also, I'm thankful for friendships that started way back when, that still today have meaning. And I'm thankful for God helping me along the way. Brian.

Back in the 70's. I'm old as dirt, but not as old as Tom Cook! haha

I did my undergraduate work at Olivet, but I have a masters degree from Trevecca that I received last May.

I took some graduate classes there in the mid 90's when I was stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY. I didn't finish the degree though, too many time conflicts with my Army duties.

Dwayne graduated in 1968, at ther age of 29. He was in USAF-then married and ran from the call to preach for a while.
My sister began teaching there in 1979-taught there 21 years.

I was there from '72 to '76. Spent most of my time "on the air" at WNAZ. The weird thing is that it just doesn't seem possible that our class had a 30-year reunion last year!!! :basic01

Karl, do you remember my brother, Mike Blankenship. I believe he graduated in the same class as you in 76?

I wondered if you might be related! Mike and I have been good friends since probably the first week or so of our freshman year. When I left a corporate career after 20 years and became a pastor, it was a real blessing to have him on the same district as a peer/mentor. We have both, of course, since left the Tennessee district, but we reconnected at the TNU homecoming last year.

The impact that our Nazarene schools have on the church by establishing such an amazing network of lifelong friendships is probably impossible to measure, but that impact definitely exists!

Yep, Mike and I are related, and he's been a great big brother, and after I became a pastor, someone that understood that I could relate to. We're supposed to see them again at Jenna's wedding in January.
