Thanks to the generous donation of Richard J. Brusco, Helen A. Brusco and Elizabeth E. Brusco, the McCallie-Kennedy Library has received its first endowed gift. The Brusco’s endowment honors the memory of David J. Brusco ’67 and will be used to enhance the library’s collection for years to come through the purchase of books, periodicals and other materials with preference given to the subjects of history, political science and English literature.
