X Z, I An avid frequenter of flea markets and antique shops, Dr. Smith has assembled an impressive collection of antique tin boxes and bottles. Here, he reads the ingredients from an old medicine bottle. I Married to the former Charlotte Flowers, Dr. Smith is the father of two daughters, Kelli who is a medical student at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, and Wendy, a junior at Mississippi College. He is a member of Clarke-Venable Baptist Church where he is a member of the finance committee and the music committee and serves as church organist. A bass and bream fishing enthusiast, his prize fish which he snagged in the college pond, is displayed in his office. A degree in botany comes in handy as Dr. Smith enjoys raising plants and gardening. Dr. Eddie M. Smith certainly has worked diligently to make a name for himself, and he continues to strive to enhance the name of East Central Junior College as he leads the institution toward the twenty-first century. The two people with whom Dr. Smith is in constant communication are Dr. Bradford Tucker, Dean of Instruction and LeAnn Scoggin, secretary to the President.
