A special birthday for Jimmy Sibley

By Maria Saporta | Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 04:50 PM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Three great friends were lunching together Tuesday at the Commerce Club for a very special reason — to celebrate the 89th birthday of our own legend — Jimmy Sibley.

Sibley, a somewhat retired partner with King & Spalding and a former director of the Coca-Cola Co., was having lunch with former Emory University President Jim Laney and former U.S. Sen. Wyche Fowler.

The stories that these three men can share — both Fowler and Laney are former U.S. ambassadors, to Saudi Arabia and South Korea respectively — could fill several books.

Sibley also continues to wield great influence in our town as one of the five trustees of the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation. An insider told me that Sibley always asks the tough questions and challenges the board to do what’s best for our region.

A toast to you Jimmy Sibley.
