For Ron, the position involves more than assuming a

new job title; it involves taking on a new family, in this case the 45,000-some graduates of Eastern Kentucky University. That doesn't seem like much of an undertaking to Ron Wolfe. Having been raised in an extended family which included eleven siblings, as well as parents and

visiting aunts and uncles, he is no newcomer to large families. And as the youngest in the family, he's also accustomed to serving others, a task that ties right in with his new job. "I see my job as serving the needs of the alumni of

Eastern," Ron said. "Whether it involves providing them with items from our merchandising program, ie first graduate of Eastern, 96-year old Leslie Anderson, '09, aiding them in their financial or insurance needs, helping id the latest director of Eastern's Alumni Affairs, Ron G.

183 SUMMER ALUMNUS g NEW DIRECTOR CONTINUED made Ron stand out among the others considered for the job. "He's the type of person who welcomes change and challenge. Coupled with that is Ron's high degree of 'sticktoitiveness'. He's always willing to go that extra mile to get the job done. An equally important quality, especially in this job, is that Ron is a good listener."

Echoing Feltner's words is Mary Frances Richards, Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association for a 19- year period prior to Spider's tenure. "Ron is so interested in people, and that's important in alumni work.

He relates so well to people that it makes him extremely effective in everything he does." She praises Ron for "never complaining; he just does the best he can with what he has." Spider joins the others in citing the qualities which Five generations of directors of the EKU Alumni Associaticj will help Ron in his endeavors.
