WAY TO GO STEW!


My Son Stewart will be starting a new job on Monday, the 20th of April. The new job will be line producing for Gurney Productions. They do shows for Discovery. He has been producing shows for Actual Reality for a number of years, is very comfortable there and really hates to leave them. But, the possibility of soon heading up Gurney's Production Department is just too tempting to pass up. Stew, Heather and Chloe live in Los Angeles and are very happy there.

Stew has been in some area of the film industry since his graduation from Birmingham Southern with a BA in Theatre Set and Lighting Design. He moved to LA about 11 years ago and has worked so hard to get to where he is today. It didn't happen overnight! Every time he got knocked down by that "dog eat dog" industry he just got right back up and worked harder.

GURNEY IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU!!!!!!

CHIP GETS GREAT NEWS!


My Son Chip received this email from Rogers Redding, Coordinator of Football Officials,Southeastern Conference

Dear Chip,

By this note I am extending an invitation for you to be added to the Supplemental List of football officials for the Southeastern Conference. As a Supplemental Official you will receive assignments as an Alternate Official, and possibly as an on-the-field official, consistent with our needs and your officiating commitments elsewhere.

We will be in touch with you later about the details of this appointment and the other information you will need.

The SEC Annual Officiating Clinic will be in Birmingham on July 23-25, 2009. Details will be forthcoming.

Chip has progressed from High official to Ohio Valley Football Conference Official and now SEC Official. This has long been a goal of his and we just can't wait to see him running up and down the field in that striped shirt.

CONGRATULATIONS CHIP! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR HARD WORK!
