I hope you are in the holiday spirit and are getting ready to enjoy the next few weeks with family and friends. The mood is bright on campus with all types of festivities and special events, and if you reflect a minute, perhaps you can remember these special times when many of us were on campus. I would suggest that these memories are important to us these days, as the times we are living in are challenging, and recalling the past can not only give us comfort and joy but strength and resolve.
I am very impressed with the sincerity and intent of my colleagues in the Advancement Office as they are working hard at making connections and offering opportunities for all of us to stay involved with our school and each other. Please support us in any way you can by getting involved, offering your ideas, and contributing to our appeals. We need you, and I know you will feel a special type of satisfaction when you get involved. Please join us and make our community stronger!
As always, I would love to hear from you by phone or email and look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Warmly,
Duncan Marshall ’67
