Sounds like -- and looks like -- a marvelous experience. JFK's call to public service 50 years ago still rings true today. Some people can make an impact on a grand and public scale, but each of us in our own way should ask ourselves what contribution we can make to making our community, our country and our world a better place.
ReplyDeleteProfessor, I was a little upset about having class canceled this past week but now that I know you were watching the Michigan-Iowa game, I totally understand. See you in class.
ReplyDeleteWhile the outcome of the game was disappointing, I'm sure you enjoyed the experience in the updated "Bigger House!" I narrowly missed an opportunity to attend the open house last summer, coming in to A2 the day after it was offered to the public. Like you, I am a UM alum ('87) and love the chance to cheer on the Wolverines!
