LPGA Legends

It was great to spend part of the day with four LPGA Legends today in Nancy Lopez, Rosie Jones, Pat Bradley and Nancy Scranton as they were in town for media day for the JCI Foundation and to preview a big golf tournament that will take place in Roswell this summer.

The standouts of women's golf and women's business will unite for a unique six-day event in Georgia this summer, June 24-29, 2015.  The JCI Foundation will introduce key partners, announce the final schedule for the Judson Women's Leadership Conference and announce the final field for the Legends Tour players in the Pro-Am and the players in the collegiate tournament.

This is all to honor the Judson legacy.

In 2010, Jim and Beth Judson lost their lives in a private plane crash while returning from a college golf event in which their daughter, Lauren, was participating. Their legacy lives on in the JCI Foundation and its mission to provide programming for young women. Beth Judson was a founding member of the Women’s Leadership Center at Alfred University, her alma mater, and participated in the founding of Southern Catholic College.  She earned her doctoral degree in Ceramic Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology where she also served as the general manager for Verco Materials LLC, a Georgia Tech VentureLab. Beth was a board member of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology(ABET) which traveled around the country to other universities reviewing engineering programs. She worked for 10 years with other ceramic engineering firms including Alcoa.

Should be a great event and thanks to the legends for giving back.

And those waiting in hour-long lines were furious.

Kudos to the Atlanta Journal Constitution for reporting this.

Record Breaking Skydiving Attempt

In Roswell, NM, the balloon is going up to the stratosphere and it looks like a jump may happen.

After two failed attempts foiled by weather for his space jump, "Fearless" Felix Baumgartner Sunday broke a record in a 23-mile free fall jump from the edge of space, watched by millions on the Red Bull Stratos live stream video.
