Ron Rinker 8W5 has been a loyal supporter of Williamson since the year he graduated. As an active alumnus, he donates annually to the school and gives of his time in a number of ways including serving as a student mentor, class representative and helping to coordinate the annual alumni golf outing. Using his Williamson education he and a fellow alumnus founded a business in 1988, Rinker & Brown Custom Carpentry, and has hired dozens of graduates at his company. Ron’s generosity to Williamson has recently grown by becoming a member of the Wanamaker Society, by way of making a planned gift to the college.
Ron says he ultimately made the decision because he felt inspired by alumni before him. “I am following the example set forth by the alumni I looked up to for many years, like the late Glenn Stevick 4W0, who was an inspiration to me,” Ron said. “I hope that my decision to become a member of the Wanamaker Society has the same impact on alumni who come after me and that Williamson men continue to support the school in every way they can.”
