: “Tell the team we’re on our way! If you won’t be in Billings, Montana tonight, you can watch and cheer for the Lady Lions in the national championship game at 8 Central on ESPN 3!”
We hope this holiday weekend has provided you with some rest during this hectic time of year. We continue to pray for many in our FHU family who have big needs right now, including Slater Springman, Don Gover and their families.
As we reflect on God's blessings, we thank Him for the life, service and legacy of Dr. E. Claude Gardner, beloved 13th president of Freed-Hardeman. While we mourn Dr. Gardner's passing from this earth today, we rejoice that his love for God, FHU and each of us is lasting.
