Chad Gilliam

I joined the faculty of Lindsey Wilson College in the fall of 2006. I remember how special the pinning ceremony was in Prestonsburg. It was very special to me because the moment was so special to the students, their family and to the community. It was also when I saw Dr. Mary Kloth who was going through extensive chemotherapy. I had only met Dr. Kloth a few months before during my interview as a faculty candidate. Now I have been notified that a graduate student, Chad Gilliam, who was there at that ceremony was just killed in action in Iraq. He joined the Marine Corp after graduation to help pay off his student loans. This is a great loss for his family, Eastern Kentucky and to our Lindsey Wilson College, SPC family. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. For more information see http://www.lindsey.edu/index.cgi?id=17689
