It is a long
way from Renous, NB to Dallas, TX with a few stops in between for former
Blackville School student Tony Gibson.
Tony is currently the CEO and owner of Object Systems Group, an
Information Technology company that specializes in solving software and systems
problems for large corporations.Although it
has been a long time since Tony has been a student of Blackville School and
resident of Renous, he has not forgotten his roots and has to this day remains
very close friends to many he has grown up with in the area. With his busy schedule, Tony does not often
get to visit Renous, but he does attempt a visit every few years.
Recently,
there was a fund raising event held for the late Michael (Mick) Buggie Scholarship
Foundation and Tony made a major contribution to the fund. Tony, who is close family friend of the
Buggie’s was very gracious with his donation.
Fund organizers were very pleased with the one-day fundraiser and the
turnout from many family and friends of Mick Buggie.
The
scholarship which donates money to where Mick graduated high school
(Blackville) and the school (NSEE) where he was Principal was set up by Mick’s
family and the money raised is given back to deserving students.
