Barbara Brown, class of '54, attended the old campus and lettered in five sports including winning the old "Big Four" golf tourney in 1954. She was mentored/coached by hall of famers, Marge Crisp and Dot Casey, and remained in old Wake Forest and had a 31 year career in education and athletics. Her career was highlighted by 17 straight undefeated seasons in volleyball and track and field and being named the first female athletic director in North Carolina. Her son, Mike, was my teammate on the golf team at Wake and we hope her grandson, Zach, is a future Deacon golfer!
