In the first picture, the man wearing glasses to the left of Dean Rusk is Gus Peleuses. He was the security officer for Secretary Rusk during the Kennedy and LBJ administrations. He was an amazing man who I was proud to call my uncle.

In reply to Martha Otts Benton.

Hello! Here is a link to the list of speakers in the series https://www.davidson.edu/academic-departments/religious-studies/research-and-scholarship/otts-lecture. Due to COVID, there does not appear to have been a speaker in 2020. If you are interested in this series, I would contact the Religious Studies department at Davidson to learn the schedule. Thank you for your interest!

As a direct descendant of John M P Otts and a lifelong student of Christian theology, I am very interested in attending one of the lectures in the future. Could you possibly add me to a contact list?

Sharon, You are one of kind when it comes to the love of old books that live in the scholarship of students and faculty, even late blooming alumni. Congratulations for your service to Davidson and to bound books of leather that speak to us in the present.

Comment on College Bowl: A Davidson Success Story by Bob Sutton

Bryan was a Phi Delt, I think, and passed away a few years ago. Even for a guy from NC, his drawl was pretty pronounced. When the competitors would introduce themselves they’d get to him and you’d hear, “Robbbuttt Bryan, LaGraaange, Nawth Carolina”. By the time it got to their third or fourth week, he was a certified celebrity on that show. Fifty-one years later I can still hear him clear as day. He later said his drawl got bigger on the show because of nerves.
