Saying a long goodbye..

When you work with international students, there comes a time when they go home.  It is Commencement weekend and their families come and whisk them away!  And you are stuck with memories and legacies which soon are replaced with other people's needs and fears!  Such is the season!

Such is Bao from Viet Nam.  He came to the meal every Sunday Night and by tradition, ate first.   His legacy:  his bicycle, his bed and his bedding.   Someone will come to inherit these things and he will think about SEMO and wonder who is riding his bike and sleeping in his bed!  To everything there is a season!

Good luck to Bao.  May he be first in all things!
