Augusta, GA native and West Point graduate 2LT John C. Gordon ’22, known as Caleb, reported back to St. Simons Rotary after being awarded the Gil Tharp Global Grant Scholarship last year to obtain a master’s degree in theology and religious studies at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
The $30,000 international scholarship is named for the late St. Simons Rotarian, Gilbert R. Tharp, an acclaimed local photographer in the 1970s and 80s. Tharp also was a founding member of the Jekyll Island Big Band.
