Kohn Memorial Golf Tournament was held on Friday April 4 at Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville, NC.  The tournament, sponsored by the ECU ASSE Student Section, hosted 75 golfers and raised over $4500, which will go to the James P. Kohn scholarship funds, one at ECU and one at the ASSE Foundation. The banquet and awards ceremony was a special event to remember the legacy of Dr. Kohn. The Dean of the College of Technology and Computer Science, Ralph Rogers, spoke and thanked the safety community for their support of ECU. Dr. Kohn’s friend and colleague, Dan Sprau, spoke of his working and personal relationship with Jim and read a statement from Jim’s wife Carrie Kohn.  Lou Pokorny, Jim’s father-in-law, described Jim’s love of golf, family, and education. The student section would like to thank the parent chapter for all of their support in getting this first tournament off the ground and hopefully building momentum for this event as an annual fundraiser to honor Dr. Kohn.  We also wish to thank all the donors and participants and look forward to their continued involvement and support in this worthwhile cause. We hope to get more chapter and alumni involvement in upcoming years.
