[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 785139, member: 630"] Susan Phinney was a support staff person at the AA in those days. She was the de facto recruiting coordinator and an Auburn graduate. She told me she would call Auburn to see who they weren't interested in. That was our recruiting research. Before I made this post I did a web search for her. I am sad to learn that she passed away in 2016 at the too young age of 72. It's people like Susan that kept the football program alive, yet she passed with little notice. I found this in an obit: Portions of The Certificate of Appreciation for Susan Phinney (Vice President), recognized by the Georgia Tech Alexander Tharpe Fund Board of Trustees on September 27, 2001: For two decades Susan Phinney represented the best of Georgia Tech athletics: Integrity, Fairness, and Teamwork. As a friend and surrogate mother to a generation of students, alumni, staff, and friends of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association, Susan leaves…a legacy of commitment and perseverance. The young teacher turned football recruiter honed her skills to become one of the best fund-raisers Tech has ever known. Among Susan’s accomplishments is Georgia Tech’s renowned Point System….for the equitable distribution of athletic ticket priority. She (can) justifiably be proud of her work quadrupling Alexander Tharpe’s endowment from seven million dollars when she began.., to a market value in excess of twenty eight million dollars, providing essential scholarship support for students in seventeen sports. Susan also was the …architect of Georgia Tech’s Olympic Facilities Campaign… [/QUOTE]
