LWU All In campaign saw 18% increase in participation By Duane Bonifer The final numbers are in, and this year's Lindsey Wilson University "All In" campaign saw a double-digit percentage increase in support. A total of 2,760 individuals, businesses and organizations made a gift to Lindsey Wilson's 48-hour campaign, which was held Sept. 23-24. That is an 18% percent increase over last year's participation, according to Lindsey Wilson Vice President for Advancement Kevin A. Thompson. "A big reason Lindsey Wilson had another great 'All In' was because of tremendous grassroots support," said Thompson. "Area residents and local businesses are incredibly supportive of this university throughout the year, and that showed during this year's 'All In' campaign." Lindsey Wilson raised more than $838,000 during this year's "All In" campaign. Money raised will be used to support a wide range of student needs, including scholarships, academic programs and cocurricular enrichment opportunities. 2025-10-07 15:38:22 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Lindsey Wilson University

Phillip Coffey: Early Life Muse By Phillip Wood Coffey Picking out the gravel from my dilapidated Brogan shoes From the spinning of my tall tales with my narrow-minded Views, Checking out the tree covered, hilly landscape of the clay-silt soil mix, south of Kelter Ridge from my home rear window. Deciduous trees bending their tops to the sun, around we swirl. Thoughts soften my temperament of my Grandfather Cassius Curl. Crippled was my "Pa" from a logging accident - wiser I became as I sat listening to his heartfelt stories with nobody else about From his poverty-stricken maze of raising eleven children with my Ma. Slowly driving to his offspring homes nearby with the love of his life, Ina River. Just a little tribute with much love to my early life muse until I was eighteen. 2025-10-07 08:33:22 | Comments | Printable version
