A. Eugene Hileman '56
Dr. Hileman has an impressive background in teaching, research and community service. Eugene served on the Help-in Crises board for 14 years and chaired the fundraising committee that helped build a women's shelter in Eastern Oklahoma. After he retired from Northeastern State University, he made a major commitment in the area of disaster response. He was closely involved with rebuilding after the Bastrop, TX fire and worked across faith based groups to establish Faith Village, a housing facility for volunteers to rebuild houses. He presently serves as the Disaster Response coordinator for the Southwest Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church and is the United Methodist Representative on the Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) where he serves on the executive committee as chair of education.
Tom Logan '64 and Jocelyn Lai Logan '64
Tom and Jocelyn met at Warren Wilson College and both graduated in 1964. In 1985, they founded Marion Medical Mission (MMM) which is an ecumenical non-profit organization that responds to Christ’s call to serve by working hand in hand with people in Africa. Initially, their focus was on medical needs and they took volunteers and supplies to hospitals in Africa. Since 1990, their primary focus changed to preventative medicine via their shallow wells program. MMM has built over 10,900 shallow wells which have provided over 2 million people with safe drinking water. They have also built schools and partnered with African churches to further their mission. The Logans live in Marion, Ill. where they develop and manage low-income housing. Together, they have been on over 50 mission trips to Africa.
