Traveling in style
Thompson E. ’72, M ’74 and Gretchen McKellar ’83
Penney
Fall 2004
As 2003 national president of the American Institute
of Architects, alumnus Thom Penney traveled over 210,000 miles, visiting
11 countries. At the beginning of his travels, he decided to mark basic
black luggage so he could readily identify it on the airline carousel.
His choice of identification? A Tiger Rag, of course.
Penney, who recently received honorary membership in the Japan Institute
of Architects, is president and CEO of LS3P Associates Ltd. in Charleston.
He holds two Clemson degrees in architecture. His wife, Gretchen, holds
a degree in design. The Penneys are pictured here on their last international
trip of the year with their well-traveled Tiger Rag.
