2012 Alumni Award Recipients

The George Fox University Alumni Association annually presents five Honored Alumni Awards to alumni who have distinguished themselves after graduating from the university. Click here to read more about the Honored Alumni Awards. 

Outstanding Recent Alumna - Kelly (Bilinski) Arispe '03

Kelly Arispe received her PhD in Spanish linguistics at the University of California, Davis, with a designated emphasis in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in 2012. Prior to that, she completed her masters in Hispanic linguistics at the University of New Mexico in 2006.

She has taught Spanish linguistics and Spanish language courses at UC Davis, the University of New Mexico, San Jose State University and Sonoma State University. In addition, Kelly has extensive experience teaching online and in the hybrid format and has co-taught annual workshops in Salamanca, Spain, to train Spanish teachers and professors how to effectively integrate technology in their language courses.

Last spring, Kelly accepted a tenure-track position at Boise State University to teach upper-division Spanish courses (namely, linguistics and methods of teaching foreign language). She and her husband, Sergio, moved to Boise in June and welcomed their son, Santiago Adrián Arispe, on July 25, 2012. Santiago has been their greatest adventure yet and deepest joy.

Outstanding Alumna - Gina (Withnell) Ochsner '92

Gina Ochsner is an educator and prolific writer who’s received widespread praise for her work. She is the author of the short story collection The Necessary Grace to Fall, winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction, and the story collection People I Wanted to Be. Both books received the Oregon Book Award. In addition, her novel The Russian Dreambook of Colour and Flight was long-listed for the Orange Award (UK).

Gina lives in Keizer, Ore., and divides her time between teaching at Corban University and writing. She is the grateful recipient of grants from the Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Literary Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and the Howard Foundation.

Heritage Award - Esther (Miller) Geddes McVey '37

Esther McVey graduated from Newberg High School at 16 and enrolled at Pacific College, where she took all the music and drama courses offered and spent her free time playing on the tennis and volleyball teams. In 1937, at the age of 19, she graduated from Pacific and moved to Sutherlin, Ore., to become a teacher. She met and married her husband – a lawyer from Medford who later became a senator and ran for Congress – and they had six daughters who all inherited their father’s beautiful singing voice.

Esther started a radio show from her home and later hosted her own television show, “Talk of the Town.” Later, she hosted “Be My Guest,” on which she interviewed celebrities as they passed through town, including the Harlem Globe Trotters and the Kennedys. Later on, Esther married Tyler McVey, a radio, TV and stage actor, and together they traveled the country and performed professionally. In more recent years, her daughters persuaded her to move to Eugene, Ore., where she performs at retirement and nursing homes, as well as gatherings of people who enjoy listening to old talk radio.

In June, Esther celebrated her 95th birthday and was “absolutely dumbfounded and thrilled” when given the news about her award.

Christian Service Award - Gail Grimston GFES '97

Gail dedicated more than four decades of her life to ministry with Young Life. She joined the organization as a staff member in 1961 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and spent the next 47 years working in different capacities. Along the way, she joined the staff in Seattle and served as operations manager at Malibu Club, a Young Life camp in British Columbia. Ultimately, Gail ended up in Portland as a division associate for Young Life until she retired in 2008.

Gail has led four trips overseas – three to Russia, where she helped to start Young Life camps, and one to Europe to visit Christian missions. She’s also had a passion for training teams for summer camps. In each area she’s lived, Gail has served as a Young Life leader and trained volunteers. And during her last years on staff she was involved in Capernaum, a Young Life ministry to students with disabilities. She also had the privilege of coordinating hospitality on a Ryndam cruise to Malibu for 1,100 people.

The past four years, Gail has been a volunteer for the Act Six program, a scholarship initiative for George Fox and Warner Pacific. Her duties include reading applications, contributing to the selection process, and attending the Monday night meetings.

Seminary Alumnus of the Year - John Lim GFES '70

John Lim, who grew up as one of six children, learned early the value of cooperation and hard work. His family worked as farmers and operated the only sawmill in the small town of Yeoju, South Korea. John also had to overcome adversity: During his teens, he suffered from tuberculosis and fellow townspeople mistook him for a person with mental illness.

It was during these years that John memorized 7,500 English words and volunteered at the Yeoju hometown orphanage. He later worked near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) as a houseboy for U.S. soldiers and eventually entered Seoul Theological College. He was able to finish college by working part time as a U.S. military missile base student chaplain.

In 1963, at 28, he married Grace, a local high school teacher, and three years later came to the U.S. and earned a master of divinity degree from Western Evangelical Seminary. Later, the seminary awarded him a doctor of humane letters. He founded American Royal Jelly Health Products, an international health and beauty supply company, and at 50 began serving as the local president of Korean Society, president of the National Korean American Federation and president of Asian American Voters Coalition.

In 1990, John ran for the Republican nomination in the Oregon gubernatorial race, and in 1992 he ran for state senator for District 11 (East Multnomah County) and garnered 60 percent of the vote, becoming the first Korean-American as a first-generation Korean immigrant to serve in any state senate in the U.S. Now he is also serving as chairman of World Korean Political Association.

John and his wife have three children and five grandchildren. They have lived in Multnomah County for 46 years. John accomplished the American Dream that many people thought impossible.
