Duard Aldridge and
Dennis Greenwell (class of 1957)

Milligan alumni Duard Aldridge and Dennis Greenwell understood what it meant to be champions of character. Arriving on Milligan’s campus as freshmen in 1955, their lifelong friendship strengthened through victory and defeat as teammates on the Buffaloes basketball team. It was under legendary coach Duard Walker (’48) that they learned how to succeed and to have character both on the court and off. After Milligan, as friends, co-workers, coaches, and golfing partners, they continued to rally in support of Milligan College and its athletics programs.

Though they are no longer with us, the Aldridge and Greenwell families established a golf tournament in their memory to benefit Milligan’s athletics programs. Now in its 14th year, the Greenwell-Aldridge Memorial Golf Classic continues to raise funds to help Milligan student athletes excel as CHAMPIONS of CHARACTER in life.
