Boyd Christenberry, life trustee at Samford, cherished husband and father, inspirational and effective business executive, active church leader and one of the most encouraging people I have known, was born on that day.  Happy 90th birthday, Mr. C.  We love you.

The world is better because of Mr. Boyd Christenberry and his dear, intelligent, thoughtful wife, Sara.
