GBH 100th Anniversary

40th Anniversary, Class of 1962

After months of mailing, emailing, phone calls and preparation, the time for the big 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Georgia Baptist School of Nursing was at hand. We were particularly pleased to have such a good turnout from the Class of 1962. One of our blessings in the process was a visit from Frankie Stuart, all the way from Florence, Oregon. We had not seen each other for many years, but old friendships last!
