Alumnus Contributes to Local Scholarship

Posted: December 3, 2013

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.
