LSUS RiverBend Revue Honors Norman and
Peggy Kinsey

The LSUS Alumni Association and the LSUS American Humanics Program hosted the 2001 RiverBend Revue on Wednesday, September 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Harrah’s Hotel Ballroom.

This was the 3rd year for the event which honors individuals who have contributed significantly to the success of the university by honoring them with the “Pilot of the Year” award.

This year’s honorees were Norman and Peggy Kinsey who have been long time supporters of the university. They joined former recipients Dr. Vincent J. Marsala, Chancellor of LSUS, and James K. Elrod, President and CEO of Willis-Knighton Health System.

The Kinseys have been very active with the LSUS American Studies Program. Peggy, who received her degree from LSUS in 1984, is a past president of the LSUS Foundation and it was under her leadership that the Foundation began the first capital campaign in the history of the university. She also was the recipient of the 2000 LSUS Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award.

LSUS alumnus Michael Woods chaired the event for the second consecutive year. Under his leadership the event has raised over $100,000 in the last two years to help fund scholarships for LSUS students.

Major underwriters for the event included the George Khoury Foundation, Willis-Knighton Health System and Christus Schumpert Health System.
