"Red" Pulliam Award for Dinstinguished Leadership, one of the highest honors presented by the Academy, for his enduring commitment and service to the school.
Charlie Daniel, Class of 1950, entertained the guests with his wit and wisdom as Master of Ceremonies. Gene Corrigan, former ACC Commissioner, was the guest speaker. Other special guests included the presenters of the awards: Ken Koeller, Class of 1951; Joe Lindsey and Bill Blair, Class of 1986; Fred Mueller, Class of 1955; Jerry Rhome; and Fred Hardy, Jr. accepted the award in the absence of Ibrahim Aden.
