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,

God bless you.

Thanks for your kind note. Also, thanks again for the cool songbooks. It is great to have a songbook which will require our fellowship to learn some of the ones we have never sung before.

We'll likely see you soon, with the Peterson's service being this Sunday afternoon.

All of God's best to you and your family.

HI, Gary. Wow-- my first comment-- and it's from YOU! Phyllis Heinz Tryon called me and mentioned the web site.
I'm living in Orlando and working many hours at my "day" job. Still do a show now and then.
My former wife Nubia and 3 kids, Chelsea (18), Jonathan 16) and Christopher (15) live nearby in Tampa. Chelsea just completed her first semester at the University of Florida and the boys are in high school and play lots of soccer.
Great to hear from you. God bless you.

Hi Gary, I met you sometime in the late 80's at Gartmore. You seemed much more ready to listen and observe at the time, and didn't have a whole lot to say. Sitting on the concrete step, I asked you about your green Corps ring (which I'd never seen before) and how I go about getting one. Well, I got one. Want it? Just kidding. Great to see you with your very handsome (and pretty) family.
Kindest regards,
Rhys

Gary--Hi. Hope says you have an address for Dave and Kobie Giles. If you do could you pass it along to me? Loved looking at the photos of all you 6th Corps brothers and sisters at the reunion--looks like you all had a great time!

Loved seeing you in NC last time we came through. We'll have to do that again.

Hello Gary King,
You do not know me but I am a graduate of the 14th Way Corps. I am writing because I came across the video you posted about Barton College's basketball team. I am writing this email from the wonderful city of Wilson, NC. I moved her in 2003 and love it!! I also love Barton basketball. You son is a really good player and has a lot of heart. I do not know him personally but have seen him play. Wilson is so proud of our Bulldogs and support them any way we can.

God bless you,
Pamela Small

Erin is slowly adjusting to life at UGA. I will pass along your message. She still keeps in touch with David, I think. How about those Dawgs this week-end...and on a rival court no less!
Maybe we can work out a visit around teen camp.
Love, Robin
Robin Stewart Sanders March 17, 2008 at 2:04pm

Workin' on my brackets. How about you? I am thinking Memphis might take it all? Is David in D2 madness this year? Love to Connie. Is Michael going to teen camp in TN this summer? Love, Robin SS
