Stephens '99 was agreed to by the Canadian Mounties. Stephens, a canoe guide to the Boy Scouts for the summer, survived the wilderness and walked over 30 miles, only for the Mounties not to find him, but for Stephens to find them just when the search was about to be abandoned. Cary J. Griffith tells Stephens' tale in the newly released novel, "Lost in the Wild: Danger and Survival in the North Woods". Stephens currently lives in Atlanta with his wife Courtney Chambless. Thanks to his older brother Dan who brought this story to the Association's attention.   Association Recognizes Coach Mark Richt On March 10, the UGA Alumni Association presented Coach Mark Richt with a framed Atlanta Journal Constitution article and advertisement the Association placed in the paper congratulating the team on its SEC Championship.   Alumni Plaque A plaque honoring past leaders of the UGA Alumni Society and Alumni Association is now on display in the Wray-Nicholson House.
