- If you find yourself racing through life,

                  slow down long enough to take along some good friends. -

           A few of the many people who have made a difference in my life...

"Stop me if I'm getting pedantic."

 

Clay is one of the most generous people I know.  He has almost taught me how to share and is always helping me see the lighter side of life.

  
 

  •     Don Foran - Professor of English & Philosophy, Centralia College

"The challenge of the new millennium is to rifle through the rag and bone shop of the heart, to create and to respond to images which move us to compassionate action for the common good."

 

Dr. Foran is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.  He demonstrates that one person can make a significant difference in the lives of others.

  
 

  •     John & Renee Howlett

"Remember who you are."

 

Thank you for not only teaching me who I am, but who I can become.

  
 

  •     Marjorie Howlett

"Don't forget to have fun."

 

She may not be very tall, but she is full of life!  Thank you for always encouraging me to be my best.

  
 

  •     Vernon Lee Hawks, Jr. - Soon to be Dr. of Veterinary Medicine

"We probably shouldn't do this."

 

Vern is the best friend a guy could ask for.  True to himself and others, he always has time to help friends or complete strangers.

  
 

  •    Mystery Heroes - Brigham Young University

All of you BYU professors who I admire will just have to wait until I graduate to see if you made the list!  I wouldn't want anyone going easy on me when I defend just because they knew I liked them!

  
 
           Accolades are great, but a picture is worth a thousand words...

"In many ways each of us is the sum total of what our ancestors were.  The virtues they had may be our virtues, their strengths our strengths, and in a way their challenges could be our challenges.  Some of their traits may be our traits."
