The husband and wife have more than three decades of service and ties with UGA and the College of Education (COE) from 1971 when Beverly (AB ’73, BS ’76, MA ’85) first enrolled as an undergraduate in the department of anthropology until Charles’ (EdD ’91) retirement in 2004.

Beverly holds bachelor’s degree from UGA in geology, double major bachelor’s in anthropology/sociology and a master’s in anthropology/archaeology. In addition to her field work in archaeology for UGA, she worked for many years as a curriculum designer in the COE Vocational Education Materials Center.
