Ovid Vickers, retired East Cen-

About East Central Community
College,” during the college’s an-
nual Homecoming festivities.

“Notes in the Margin” is a col-
lection of essays Vickers pulled
from his weekly newspaper
columns, which highlight various
people, places and events associ-
ated with East Central Community College.
Vickers, who retired from the college in 1995 after 40-plus years
of service, continues to live with his wife, Carol, near the campus in
Decatur.
He said in a recent interview, “EC afforded me a livelihood for
years and I thought I would do something to compensate the college
for all it had invested in me.”
ECCC President Dr. Billy Stewart wrote in the book’s message from
the president, “I trust that as you read this book you will enjoy the
history of East Central contained in it, including stories about the col-
lege’s faculty, student body, and campus facilities.”

relations and the foundation, at 601-635-6327 or email dleblanc@
