Hey, alumni! Our alumni spotlight this week features Billy Barrow ‘84 and Dottie (Hartford) Barrow ’83.

Some of Billy and Dottie's favorite memories from Erskine are the lifelong relationships they built with fellow students, professors, coaches, and staff.

Since graduating, the couple has built a life centered on faith, family, and service. After spending four years in Germany while Billy served on active duty in the U.S. Army, they settled on St. Simons Island, Georgia, where they raised four children and now enjoy five grandchildren. Billy has worked in human resources and risk management, served as a chaplain in the Georgia Army National Guard, and currently serves as chaplain for Sea Island Company. Dottie has spent 25 years at Frederica Academy, serving as a media specialist and teaching computer science and engineering.

Together, they are active in their church and continue to serve through mission work in Romania and Haiti.
