PROGRAM FEATURES...

May 1 - Our speaker today was Darrell Richardson, President and CEO of Pace Airlines. Mr. Richardson brought us a very interesting and exciting talk. He talked about how Pace Airlines came here and what they do now. The exciting news is what they plan for the future. His intentions are to bring air travel back to Winston-Salem. He stated that there is a market and he will bring it back! Everyone in the room applauded that information. Thank you Mr. Richardson for your talk and we look forward to traveling with your airline.

May 8 - An old friend of Reynolds High School and Winston-Salem spoke to us today. Red Wilson, former football coach of Reynolds High regaled us with his coaching history and some stories of the different boys he coached. After leaving Reynolds, Coach Wilson was head coach at Elon University and Duke University respectively. He described the difference in coaching high school and college. He prefers high school, mainly because the boys are moldable (and more gullible). Thank you coach Wilson for an interesting talk.
