Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton delivered the keynote address at the 17th Annual Mathews-Dickey “Say Amen” Banquet, held Aug. 19 at the St. Louis Airport Marriott. The banquet raised $210,800 for hundreds of area young men and women to participate in the Mathews-Dickey Volunteer Tutorial, Computer Literacy Instruction and career/leadership programs. Mathews-Dickey presented Wrighton with the “Soaring Eagle,” funded by Anheuser-Busch, as a “memorable keepsake and token of (its) appreciation for being an important part of the St. Louis community.” From left, Jon Grayson, event emcee and KMOX radio personality; Martin L.
