Ridgecrest Group Picture

A big event for us in the spring was the trip to Ridgecrest Assembly in North Carolina for Student Week at Ridgecrest. A large number of students from the Georgia Tech Baptist Student Union went and a sizable number of nursing students from Georgia Baptist Hospital. We also got to meet students from Mercer in Macon.

Starting from the left, I am identifying some of the Tech students and others we knew.
