Rusty got off to a terrific start in Memphis, where he was raised by loving parents, Elizabeth and Russell, Sr.

Even at an early age, Rusty had a penchant for
environmental design and land planning.

As you can imagine, Rusty was a rather precocious child.

Here we see Rusty hitting the local Cotton Carnival party circuit as he escorts a young southern belle.

Here are young Kem Wilson and Rusty cooking up trouble at summer camp. Little did they know they would continue their
collaboration on projects such as Schilling Farms.

Frank Crump, a past president of Lambda Alpha, has provided great counsel to Rusty over the years.

Here’s a tidbit I bet you didn’t know about Rusty. At MUS he was named:
Most Talented
est All Around
Editor of the Literary Magazine
Editor of the Yearbook
Associate Editor of the school paper
In ninth grade, Rusty enrolled at Memphis University School, an institution with which he would develop a life-long loyalty. In addition to Wilson Barton, it was at MUS that Rusty met a whole cast of characters with whom he would eventually work side by side for many years at Boyle Investment Company: Henry Morgan, Joel Fulmer, Cary Whitehead and myself just to name a few.

It was also at MUS that Rusty honed his infamous people skills. Here we see Rusty practicing the fine art of persuasion.

……..and five grandchildren.

Unfortunately, Rusty’s attempt to subsidize his real estate income has been a total failure.
![Page 17: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In the late 1960s, Rusty walked into the offices of Boyle Investment Company and asked for a job.
![Page 18: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Bayard Boyle, Sr. was willing to take a chance on Rusty, who has been with Boyle ever since.
![Page 19: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Rusty’s first project at Boyle was a residential neighborhood in Whitehaven called The Birches, which has nicely withstood the test of time.
![Page 20: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rusty has risked life and limb while working on many of Boyle projects. During development of Ridgeway Center and River Oaks,
Rusty nearly sacrificed his body by standing in front of a bulldozer to save a stately old oak tree.
![Page 21: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For this brave feat Rusty was featured as a
“Tree Fanatic in Memphis” by Southern Living Magazine.
![Page 22: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In surveying the land at Boyle’s Spring Creek Ranch community, Rusty was chased by one of Dr. David Meyer’s infamous bulls while out
roaming the property one day.
![Page 23: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rusty has never let these incidents slow him down and he’s gone on to develop an impressive portfolio of upscale projects.
Dr. Myer’s infamous bull, no really.
![Page 24: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
These include River Oaks, Green Shadows, Blue Heron, The Cloisters, The Neighborhood at Schilling Farms, and Chartwell of River Oaks. Rusty attributes the success of Boyle’s
residential projects to the legacy of Bayard Boyle, Sr.
![Page 25: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rusty also devoted much of his career working hand-in-hand with Bayard Boyle and Henry Morgan to plan and develop large, complex mixed-use projects such as Ridgeway Center, which was launched in the early 1970s.
![Page 26: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In the early 1990s, Rusty worked with the Boyle family to develop Humphreys Center, now a bustling office, retail and medical center in the heart of East Memphis.
![Page 27: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The 400-plus-acre Schilling Farms community in Collierville is another large mixed-use project that Rusty developed along with Boyle’s joint venture
partner, Harry Smith.
![Page 28: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Rusty worked with Boyle’s Nashville office to create a world-class mixed-use community in Franklin called Meridian Cool Springs.
![Page 29: 2010 Lambda Alpha Lifetwime Achievement Award Winner, Rusty Bloodworth](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051323/5479fc8cb4af9fa0158b49be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Situated on 65 acres, Meridian offers 700,000 square feet of office space and more than 70,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, including two hotels.
