CELEBRATING OUR 50 YEAR MEMBERS Charles & Pat Pittard

Friday, April 14

After college and service, I began my working days with the Shell Oil Company in 1964, spending several years in Atlanta in various assignments. A few of my superiors were members of the AAC. I had the privilege of being invited by them to play golf at East Lake, and later at the new “Riverbend.” The Riverbend experience was very special,

having grown up in Duluth, and being familiar with the Ben Summerour farm on which the Club acquired and built our superb facilities. Certainly, it was a dream to someday become a member! After leaving Shell to get into commercial real estate our dream came true. Our family has enjoyed countless hours together at the AAC: the aquatic center, the swim meets, the father-son golf tournaments, the July 4th celebrations, the Athletic Center, my wife’s tennis and golf, Pat and I having our twilight evening of nine holes, the dining, and our daughter’s fabulous wedding reception in the beautiful St. Andrews Room. Of course, there’re the golfing groups in which I was privileged to participate......the Czar’s invitational, the “Tuesday’s group,” Bubba’s (Tindol) Saturdays’, Boylston’s Fridays, the beloved “Duffers” and many others. I had the humbling experience of serving on our Board for nine years, the latter four as President and Chairman. There are many highlights, and it was always in the forefront that our purpose was based on Member Enjoyment! Yet one event stands out: our Centennial Celebrations! Many, many dedicated members who served on the Centennial Committee toiled tirelessly to ensure that “we did it up right!”

I know the 125th will be special.
