Tuten raised over $1k, personally based off of his play and plans to donate his golf bag signed by Tour professionals and give them to The Peyton Project

Thank you to @DowntownLBJR for sharing this CSC moment! — A bunch of SIDs that worked together in the Peach Belt Athletic Conference in the 1990s and 2000s had a reunion in Atlanta this week. For some, it was the first time they had seen each other in person since the 90s. They all met up in Atlanta, went to two Braves games, took a tour of Chick-Fil-A and went to the @cfbhall – "...needless to say we reminisced on many great times we had together over the years and told a lot of stories. Lots of CoSIDA conventions were talked about as well!"

The following were in attendance:
Lindy Brown (@DowntownLBJR worked at @PacerAthletics and now at @DukeATHLETICS)
Torye Hurst ( worked at Peach Belt Athletic Conference and now out of the Business)
Dom Donnelly (@tusculumsid worked at @UNCP_Sports and now at @TusculumSports)
Mike Peacock (worked at @CSUCougars and now out of the business)
Michael Hawkins (Has been with @FMUSports entire time)
Chad Jackson (@tcjsavannah worked at @ArmstrongPirate and now at @GSAthletics)
Bob Stoner (@BobStonerImages retired from @LanderAthletics)

Armstrong Athletic Hall of Fame Service Citation recipient Mark Sussman was a legend around Savannah athletics and he will be greatly missed. #RememberThePirates

[Frank Sulkowski WJCL @TheBigGuyWJCL]

Savannah has lost a one-of-a-kind supporter of students and athletes.

Mark Sussman was more than the longtime Memorial Day School Director of Athletics and Development. He was the loudest cheerleader for his family, friends, school, teams and students.

Suss left his mark on this world and will truly be missed.

Sad day for the Pirates. Herbie was a fixture at Armstrong and regularly regaled us with the Armstrong fight song that was penned in the '40s
