Lightning bugs flitting, cicadas chirping, mosquitoes buzzing, chiggers, outdoor concerts, baseball games with the grandkids, ice cold lemonade, fresh tomatoes, barbeque hamburgers and hot dogs, zucchini from the garden, to name a few.
Ah, summer in Kansas and the living is easy. Well, most of the time. New aches and pains continue to hit us and you never know for sure that when you bend over you can straighten back up. Aging is certainly not for sissies - but it sure beats the alternative. Activities are picking up on campus at Friends University. New professors, new deans, new students, President Arant’s second year, Homecoming around the corner, etc. Also, two buildings in the Delano Historic District will be the new home for the Art Department with anticipated occupancy by the 2013 fall semester. There will be plenty of room for an on-site gallery, offices and lecture hall. Won’t they be thrilled to have their own building? The second annual President’s Run will be held on the campus and surrounding area on Saturday, April 6, 2013. Now I realize that is still some time from now, but this is your first notice. This past spring’s President’s
Inaugural Run was a great hit. The runners loved the course around the Friends campus and on University Avenue and there were many mascots from surrounding area businesses cheering everyone along - even the walkers - which might include a number of us 60s grads next year who have left running behind. Whew!! Homecoming is coming again and it will be the 50th reunion for the class of 1962. WOW! Mark your calendars for Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012. More information will be coming in your mail. Hey, I’ll be there and I graduated in 1968. It’s a fun place to be on a Saturday in October. Here are some great updates from y’all: •
Carolyn Gilmore, FS‘59-‘60, writes that she has just published a new book titled “Nourishing Your Newborn.” As an obstetric nurse, she helped many new Moms learn the art of breastfeeding.
•
Jerry Watters, G‘69, sends information that he is the minister of music and education at First Baptist Church in Neches, Texas.
