Kristen graduated in 2010, and she and her husband Christopher Duke live in Atlanta. Stinson plans to spend her retirement helping her husband at their business, Stinson-Howard Fine Jewelry in Oxford, and spending time with her family. “I tell everyone that I’m going to be the ‘Special Assistant to Choley and Oliver’ now,” Stinson laughed. “I’m on-call to take Chloey to gymnastics, and my husband says that mowing the lawn is my job now.” Over the decades, Stinson has seen a lot of change come to JSU. She witnessed the onset of the Internet in the ’90s, the implementation of the university’s first doctoral program in 2011 and the construction and renovation of several campus buildings. But her favorite thing has been the relationships she’s formed.

It’s also great for the front ensemble, because the new storage space we’re getting means they won’t have to hide their equipment in the truck every week!” Over the course of their 9-day band camp, the Southerners spent over 36 hours rehearsing at the coliseum. The new turf will be less damaging and allow the Southerners to be more comfortable practicing on a similar field to the one they will march on during game days. The original plan had been to reuse the old turf from Burgess Snow, but with brand new turf the facility will be able to house not only the Southerners but also be used a recreational point for JSU students in other sports and for high school band cams who host their band camps at JSU. Band members have showcased their excitement in wake of the practice field announcement on Aug. 25. “I’m super excited, because the university is showing recognition to the band and all the hours and work we put in,” band member Carly Smith said. “It’s really nice to see the band and the football team both get rewarded for their hard work, because that’s something you don’t really Jacksonville State University see in schools much.” Stinson, right, and her husband, Sam, watch their daugh- Completion of the new field is expected to be sometime in mid- th ter, Kristen, recieve her undergraduate degree in Decem- November, just in time for the Marching Southerners’ reunion and 60 ber 2010. anniversary celebration.
