Jim and Barbara McCabe of Clemson have honored a longtime friend with a $100,000 endowment to the Clemson Alumni Association. The Ann Harvin Hunter Leadership Endowment honors Alumni Association President Ann Harvin Whetstone Hunter (center) of Greenwood and will support leadership development for student and alumni volunteers.
\nJim McCabe and Hunter\u2019s father, Jack Moorer Whetstone, were friends from fourth grade until Whetstone\u2019s death in 1959. Little did Jim know that he would later become friends with Whetstone\u2019s daughter.
\n\u201cHe was my best friend all the way through school,\u201d said Jim. \u201cHe died when Ann was a baby. After she was grown, we became acquainted. She has since called us her \u2018surrogate parents.\u2019\u201d
\nA 1980 and \u201982 chemical engineering graduate, Hunter was named the Volunteer of the Year in 2009. She has served on the Women\u2019s Alumni Council and the Clemson Athletic Council and has been an IPTAY representative for 14 years.
\nJim McCabe entered Clemson in 1943, but left to serve in the Navy during World War II. Retired from Exxon Company U.S.A., he has been married to Barbara for 63 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
