Forgotten East Bay golf champ Tony Lema died on edge of greatness. Updated 12:49 am, Thursday, July 10, 2014. Fifty years ago Thursday, Tony Lema stylishly scrawled his name in golf lore. He didn't merely win the 1964 Open Championship - he won at storied St. Andrews and he beat runner-up Jack Nicklaus by five shots. A half-century later, Lema remains the Bay Area's forgotten major champion in many ways. And that's unfortunate, because he truly was one of a kind. Tony had a very light air about him, two-time major winner Johnny Miller said. I don't think he worried about a lot of things, and he played golf the same way.
Abner S. Ingman and James R. Maupin founded Southwest Baptist College in 1878 in Lebanon, Missouri. The Lebanon campus originally had an enrollment of 60 students and six faculty.
Recognizing that many churches working together in missions could accomplish more than any one, the Board of Foreign Missions was established on May 10, 1845 (the same date the Southern Baptist Convention was formed) and headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
