I'd like to make a correction. In an earlier post I identified this young man as David Williams and I asked why he was wearing a Green Coat from 1979. It turns out this is a photo of Drew Boyland-1979 Greater Greensboro Open General Chairman.

1984 Greater Greensboro Open Honorary Chairman Charles Hayes
"Former UNCG Trustees Chairman Chuck Hayes Dead at 68
GREENSBORO — Charles A. "Chuck" Hayes, 68, a business leader and textile executive who was a long-time supporter of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the Greensboro community, died Sunday, July 21 (2002), at Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, July 26, at Christ United Methodist Church, and a private burial service will follow. Visitation will be from 6-9 Thursday at Forbis and Dick Guilford Chapel at 5926 W. Friendly Ave.
"Chuck Hayes will be missed by everyone who knew him, and especially by all the people he helped, and the agencies and institutions that he supported," said Chancellor Patricia A. Sullivan.
"For UNCG, he was a strong leader as chair of our Board of Trustees and during our first capital campaign. His generosity and his legacy of involvement will benefit students on this campus for many years to come. His death was very sad news and the University family extends its sympathy to his family in their time of grief."
In addition to his service on the UNCG Board of Trustees (1980-91, chairman 1983-89), Hayes was a national co-chairman of the Prospectus III Campaign, UNCG's first capital fund drive, which raised $13.5 million in the early 1980s.
In 1992, he was one of 10 persons who were presented UNCG Centennial Awards in honor of their service to the University. In 1998, he was awarded the honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University during its December commencement.
Hayes endowed a professorship in 1998 for the UNCG School of Education. Named the William E. Moran Distinguished Professorship in Reading and Literacy, the endowment honored Hayes' friend, UNCG chancellor emeritus William E. Moran, and also reflects Hayes' interest in literacy and education.
Hayes was a charter member of the Spartan Club Committee, serving since 1987. He was a member of the board of directors of the UNCG Excellence Foundation and was a member of the Human Environmental Sciences Foundation board of directors from 1978-81.
He had other strong ties to UNCG as well. His friends and associates honored him by contributing $1 million in his name to create two endowed professorships at UNCG. The gifts were joined with $500,000 in matching funds from the state.
The Charles A. Hayes Distinguished Professorship was created in the Bryan School of Business and Economics, and the Mae Putman and Albert Hayes Distinguished Professorship was established in the School of Human Environmental Sciences. In 1989, the Charles A. Hayes Graduate Fund Endowment was established by the UNCG Excellence Foundation. The fund annually provides graduate fellowships of more than $10,000 each.
A native of Gloversville, N.Y., Hayes joined Guilford Mills in 1961 as vice president for dyeing and finishing. He became president of Guilford Mills in 1968 and chief executive officer in 1972. He was named chairman of the board and chief executive officer in 1976. Guilford Mills prospered under his leadership for many years.
Among his business and community activities, Hayes was a member and former chairman of the Greensboro Development Corporation and a member and past president of the N.C. Textile Manufacturers Association. He also was a director and a member of the executive committee of the American Textile Manufacturers Institute. He served as a member of the board of overseers of the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, the GTCC Foundation board and the executive committee of the N.C. State University Development Board
His honors include Greensboro Jaycees Boss of the Year, 1982; Greensboro Jaycees Man of the Year, 1983-84; Greensboro Area Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Citizen of the Year, 1985; Greensboro Business Leaders Hall of Fame, 1989; and several awards from the National 4-H Council, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. Hayes received the Watauga Medal from N.C. State University in 1994. "
