JOHN HAWIE ENDOWS SCHOLARSHIP IN THE NAME OF COACH SUE GUNTER
COACH STARKEY (10-12-09):
One of my favorite people in the world is John Hawie. He not only is a support of LSU athletics but has been a tremendous supporter of Lady Tiger Basketball. In fact, John has become someone that has grown to love the game of women's basketball on all levels and I always enjoy talking about our game with him. John is someone who has been supporting our efforts for a long time -- before it was fashionable but recently he took it to an entirely greater level. It was announced at the half-time of the LSU-Florida football game that John would be endowing a scholarship in the name of Coach Sue Gunter as part of the Tiger Athletic Foundation's Foundation of Champions. The idea of endowing the scholarship in Coach Gunter's name came from John and his love and respect for her and her accomplishments. The financial support is truly important but his understanding of our program's legacy is priceless -- THANKS JOHN!!!
