Johnson to Address Memphis-Area Alumni at Wednesday Luncheon 4/15/03

Commodore Head Coach Bobby Johnson, in an effort to build Vanderbilt interest in western Tennessee, will speak to Vanderbilt alumni in Memphis Wednesday.

Johnson, in his second year at the Vanderbilt helm, is scheduled to speak during a luncheon at Memphis Country Club hosted by former Commodore football player Paul “Trow” Gillespie, the Memphis Vanderbilt Club and the National Commodore Club. Johnson will attend the gathering with Vanderbilt Director of Athletics Todd Turner, Assistant A.D./Major Gifts Chris Wyrick and Associate Director/Major Gifts Bryan Risner.

“I’m looking forward to visiting with our alumni and supporters in the Memphis area, and getting a chance to tell them more about our football squad,” Johnson said Tuesday.

The engagement will begin at 11:30 a.m., at the Memphis Country Club, located at 600 Goodwyn Avenue. The luncheon is open to all Vanderbilt alumni and friends.
