 Did
you know...
that GRSP has a theme song? For GRSP's 50th anniversary in 1996,
the students were asked to write letters to Ronnie Waller, who was retiring
as program chairman, answering the question, “Is Peace Possible?” While
binding the books, Janis Comer, program administrator, composed a poem.
After reading the poem that Janis entitled, "Peace," Kay and Maynard
Knestrick, program trustees, forwarded the words to Bernie Wong, a GRSP
student at the State University of West Georgia (class of 94-95).
Interestingly, he had just written a melody with which the words fit
perfectly. The
song
was first introduced at the 50th Anniversary Conclave in Thomasville, Georgia, and is sung by every class of
students. (Posted Jan. 2008)
