Barton College 2007 NCAA Division II National Champion

ESPN declared this to be the greatest finish to any basketball game ever. My son (David) was a key player in this National Championship game - although he didn't play on this video in the last 45 seconds - he is on the bench (the one with the towel…

About Me

Updated December 2019 I have been married to Connie Sandlin (10th Corps) for 37 fabulous years. She has always been so delightful. Connie has truly been God's gift to me and has been such a tender loving mother for our children and an even more amazing grandma (Nana) with six grandchildren. She was born in California but moved to Alaska when very young and was raised there. We lived in Alaska 1985-89 and enjoyed it immensely. It was especially wonderful being close to her parents - in Delta Junction, AK. Currently I am working for a software company (Cumulus Networks) as the Director of Inside Sales. Connie is working a part time job one day a week and taking care of our two local grandchildren a couple days a week. We continue to have a Bible fellowship each Sunday and remain completely busy and blessed! We have four children. Matthew (35) graduated from Appalachian State University in 2007 with a degree in Journalism. He married Abby Bernardini in 2009 (6th Corps parents – Greg & Cindy). They live in Belleville, IL and have three daughters 7, 5, and 1). Matthew works for the new XFL team, the St. Louis BattleHawks as Director of Content and Abby as Executive Assistant and Academic Coordinator at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. David (33) graduated from Barton College (NC) in 2009 with a double major in Business Administration and Sports Management. He had an awesome career playing basketball there, including winning national championship in 2007 (you can see the end of that championship game in the video section). He received his Masters Degree in Athletic Administration from Ohio University and is now VP of Corporate Partnerships for the Minnesota Timberwolves. David married Megan Van Wagenen in 2016. She is a nurse and now a full time mother of their first child, four months old (our second grandson, born just three days after our first grandson). Amy (30) graduated from Barton College in 2011 with a nursing degree. She married Nate Bonadies in 2015 (8th Corps parents - Phil and Karen). They have a daughter (3) and that first grandson for us (4 months). They live just minutes away here in Cary, NC. Amy is a Charge Nurse at Wake Med and Nate is a Project Manager for ISAT Seismic Bracing. Michael (28) graduated from East Carolina University in 2014 and is living close by in the Raleigh area. He is a Lead Development Rep for a software company, Bandwidth. Our family has certainly been blessed and we are very thankful.

Sports Teams I like

I have always been a sports fan - and even still play some (mostly pick up basketball).

Gary,
You are so sweet! Your song is absolutly BEAUTIFUL. It got me a little teary. Wow that is really your son singing? Yes there are so many good times to catch up on. Frank does have a Jordan River Ramblers CD of music they did during the Way Corps years that Mark Glukin did for them. If you need a copy I can probably mail you one. It is very good. Love to you and the family. Joan

Hi Gary, God bless, Dave McClellan here from Boise, Id. Last time I remember seeing you was when you invited me to sing 'Freedom Soil' in Dallas one year at the WINBAP.

Actually I still sing it occasionally. We opened for Point of Grace here in Boise in '06 before several thousand outdoors and I did that song at Idahos' 'God and Country Rally'.
Your sons music is really beautiful. Fantastic job.
Still married to Vicki and blessed. Good to see your face and that your a happy man.
Also, give my love to Connie. I know her folks as well and her sister Sandy whom I grad with from the 11th Corps. I was trying to find Sandy recently in Salt Lake area. Is she still around there? I know she got divorced. I did run into her a few years ago by a diving appointment but now can't find her.

blessings to you brother. Dave
