LeMoyne-Owen presidential finalists to meet public

College narrows search for new leader down to 3

Officials with LeMoyne-Owen College have narrowed their search for a new president to three people. The finalists are Dr. Charles Beady, Dr. Lester Newman and Dr. Patricia Ramsey. If one of them is chosen, he or she will succeed James Wingate, who stepped down in July 2006. Former Memphis City Schools superintendent Johnnie Watson has led the school since shortly after Wingate resigned.
