Vaughn’s Retirement, 5/5/06

Our friend and colleague, Dr. Vaughn Grisham, retired as Professor of Sociology in May of 2006 after more than 40 years of service to the University of Mississippi.  A special celebration honoring Dr. Grisham was held on May 5, 2006.  The festivities began on the Oxford Double Decker bus, which picked Vaughn and Sandy up at their home and, subsequently, traveled to campus to pick up colleagues, former students, family and friends at various locations… all a complete surprise to Vaughn.  The bus took all party-goers to a reception held in Vaughn’s honor at the Memory House where guests enjoyed a breakfast buffet complete with Bottle Tree Bakery pastries and mimosas.  Photos from the event:
