Steve Nielson concentrates while performing. Everyone enjoyed the Speer Family Concert, and the Western Barbecue on Saturday afternoon, including the little ones. This informal event combined food, fellowship, and music. Alumni and parents stomped their feet and clapped their hands to gospel songs while sitting on bales of hay. Log fires and black kettles were part of the decor; even the administra- tion dressed for the occasion in western attire — complete with cowboy hats. Harry Dickerson, the Grand Marshal of Homecoming 1984, was instrumental in arranging for the par- ticipation of both the Speer Family and The Fanny Crosby Story. (R.
