Over the span of the last three centuries, the ancestors of James T. McAfee, Jr., relentlessly sought for a life that could make a difference. Toward the middle of the seventeenth century, the McAfees left conflict-torn Scotland, and migrated to Ireland. Once in Ireland, extreme hunger and poverty gave them urgent reason to risk voyage across the violent North Atlantic to the New World. Undeterred, they trekked from Delaware to Virginia, pioneered west into Kentucky, and finally, at the turn of the twentieth century, settled next to the Mississippi River in Western Tennessee. James T. McAfee, Jr. was born in 1939. Over the span of the next six decades, Jim McAfee emerges as a significant leader within the healthcare industry, as well as a generous and visionary contributor to higher education.
