One of the joys of a long association with the University is a continued association.   Yesterday Cindy Gannon (above) sat with me at Grace Hoover's funeral.   Greg Brune and I went to the Coach's show on Monday and we are going to Anna tomorrow to visit with Ron Hahs about my book.  I am lucky to have a raft of continued relationships.

Today I went up to the office and they were having a party for Trudy Lee who had gotten her doctorate and turned 50 this week.  I was delighted to be a part of that celebration.  Then Susan Burton faxed some papers for me and we are going out to lunch.   We just talked and talked.  This picture shows Barb Kinsey, Michelle Brune, me and Susan Burton --all great friends.  Barb picked me up for the service yesterday.

I like to think of the camaraderie of Jesus and his disciples.   He knew that he had a group to  train but they enjoyed their time together!   I know a small part of what he was talking about.
