Please meet a Builder member:

We salute William Turner (’43) of Mesa, Arizona. Bill was moved to honor his wife, Isabelle Dearborn Turner, by a story in the Horizons.  Mr. Turner established two endowments: the first for SIFE and business students and the other for faculty development. According to Mr. Turner, "I had a great career as an insurance broker and while going through my collection of mementos found a lot of things from my Graceland days. I had to borrow money to go, so did Liz, and I just wanted to help other students have an easier time of it. We loved Graceland." What a great personal testimony to the power of the "Graceland Experience."
