families, friends. A letter
will be sent to the Va. Tech
Letterwinners Association expressing

4. Bussey then led a discussion of the procedures to be used in nominating individuals for the Athletic Hall of Fame. He reviewed the refinements in the procedure, which had been proposed by the Ad Hoc Committee led by Bill Burton, and which had been approved by the Board of Directors at its January 2007 meeting. The Committee then voted by secret ballot, and selected the following:
Lester Brown – Football, 1976-1979
Woody Dantzler – Football, 1997-2001
Amy Geren – Women’s Basketball, 1995-1999
Lucas Glover – Golf, 1998-2001
Khalil Greene – Baseball, 1999-2002
Terrell McIntyre – Men’s Basketball, 1995-1999
Kerry Robinson – Women’s Track, 1980-1984
Nelson Welch – Football, 1991-1994
The nominations will remain confidential until approved by the Approval Committee and the individuals notified. At that time, notice will be given to the Letterwinners Board of Directors.
5. After discussion by the Nominating Committee, Bussey appointed the following to serve on an Ad Hoc Committee:
Charlie Wyatt – Chair
Emily Wood
Dave Moorhead
Charlie Bussey
The purpose of the Committee is to study the Constitution and make a proposal to the Board of Directors as to whether “administrators” should be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame while still employed by the University. In addition, the Committee is to examine the process for Hall of Fame nomination, namely, to determine if each voting member of the Nominating Committee should vote for 8 candidates rather than 5, as now stipulated. Finally, the Committee will recommend a minimum number of votes a candidate must receive in order to survive the “first cut” of the balloting process. A minimum of 2 votes was necessary in today’s balloting.
6. Erwin Abel announced that Vince Yockel, Men’s Basketball player 1954-1958, and member of the Athletic Hall of Fame, is not in good health and asked that we remember him. A letter of “good wishes” will be sent to Vince from the Board.
7. The Committee, acting as the Board of Directors, voted to extend “Honorary Member” benefits to Jimmy Rogers, owner of Copper River Restaurant. Mr. Rogers has been a major “sponsor” of the Letterwinners Spring Gathering, and catered (at no cost) the pre-Spring Game lunch.
8. The meeting adjourned after lunch.
