Hardin-Simmons University alumni and spouses who are currently serving in the armed forces of the United States or who have done so in the past are invited to a veterans' reunion breakfast at the school Oct. 30. It will be held in conjuction with homecoming activities. A steering committee has met and is making plans for the reunion of Reserve Officer Training Corps graduates and veterans with HSU ties. People meeting the criteria for the breakfast are asked to send their mailing address and e-mail address toegarrett@hsutx.edu or Earl Garrett, Box 16030, HSU, Abilene 79698. As a part of an outreach effort to two local apartment complexes, youth, college students and young adults of First Church in Georgetown helped children from the complexes learn and practice swimming skills. Members of the church also transported children living in the apartments to and from Vacation Bible School at the church and held block parties at each site. One of those parties coincided with the dedication of playground equipment at apartments that previously offered none. The church donated $500 toward the purchase of the equipment. Ann Gebuhr, professor of music at Houston Baptist University, has been granted a commission from the Foundation for Universal Sacred Music to compose a choral work for performance in New York City in the fall of 2005. 09/16/2004 - By John Rutledge
