Hello Titans!<\/p>\n

These are some exciting times, in which we live. Thirty-eight years ago, in 1978, I was 26 years old. That was the year of the last total solar eclipse. I made a pin-hole viewer out of an old shoebox and took a look, for myself. Tomorrow, I will be blessed to witness another one, this time with special protective sunglasses. Maybe you remember your last solar eclipse, I sure hope so. This time you may have children or grandchildren to share in the excitement. Not to mention being in a whole new century, this time. Take care and enjoy!<\/p>\n

As summer winds to a close, and ushers in autumn, please take the time to reflect and count your many blessings, my fellow Titans. I hope that you can look forward and see many more of them ahead. I trust that your summer included some vacation time, some respite, and a little discovery. Nature will soon unfold its season of many colors, autumn. Coming this fall, and every fall is homecoming at Illinois Wesleyan. I hope that you, like me, are planning to come home. There is simply nothing as grand as walking across the QUAD under the shade of the many magnificent trees.<\/p>\n

As we get closer to October 13th<\/sup>, homecoming weekend, I will share more information with you. You should have already received your postcard reminder, which previewed the weekend\u2019s events. One pretty special celebration is the 25th<\/sup> anniversary of the Minority Alumni Network, M.A.N. for short. There will be a Saturday, evening gala beginning at 8pm in Hansen on Saturday, October 14th<\/sup>. Please, plan to attend, if you do not have a class dinner. We would be glad to have you share in our celebration.<\/p>\n

Well, I have to run now, no not literally! (smile) Talk to you again, soon.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
