may-Q Dr. Shelby Breedlove was only forty-four years old when he was claimed by illness on Septem ber 25, 1974. It's easy to glorify a per- son's minor accomplishments and to forget his shortcomings at his demise, but in Dr. BreedIove's case it's difficult to keep the truth from sounding like fiction. Because if men's lives are measured by their achieve- ments, then Dr. BreedIove's life must have been as meaningful as the college he lifted from obscurity to wide-spread recognition. It wouIdn't be truthful to say that Shelby Breedlove built Westark brick by brick, but he was the perpetual force behind its growth-the driving force that led to West- ark's accreditation, state funding of oper- ating costs, improved facilities and the constant upgrading of curriculum. But what was Shelby Breedlove like when he wasn't serving as college president? A person. A man who had a wife and a family and their futures to think about. Like many men he enjoyed sports and actively participated when possible. He even tried to help the confused football widow by his community service sessions on the game. Dr. Breed- love grew up in the Ft. Smith-Van Buren area and attended Westark when it was under the bleachers at Northside High. ' ' Ur' T0 N r r r Q wg i ' V .
