Alumni

Golf Greetings to all of you!

Welcome to the 43rd year of this PSU homecoming golf event founded by my mother Barbara Dearborn in 1981. She loved golfing with Plymouth State alumni, faculty and friends! Barbara was a dedicated alumna from the class of 1960 and faculty member and she devoted many years to the PSU Alumni Association. She was thrilled in 1995 when you named it the Barbara Dearborn Golf Classic, in appreciation for her years of perseverance, enthusiasm and efforts as founder, organizer and chair of the homecoming golf classic.

I hope you will continue the tradition of good golf and PSU camaraderie at the 43rd annual Barbara Dearborn Golf Classic. There are so many wonderful experiences and memories that have formed from this golf classic! My mother shared her memories with me and spoke fondly and enthusiastically about homecoming golf adventures. Since she passed in 1996, I still have enjoyed spending time with all of you who have shared your fun experiences with me.
