Parting words: Cathy Colglazier Fall in love -- with ideas, with people, with nature, with politics, with a career, with a dog or cat. A passionate life is worth living! Larry Helm More, better, faster. Jay Lamb Believe it or not, the unexamined life is really not worth living. So be mindful, inquire, learn, love and always cut the deck. Ed Montgomery Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with
the faith God has distributed to each of you. St. Paul –Romans 12:3 Mary O’Brien From this hour, freedom! From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines, Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute, Listening to others, and considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. Linda Phillips Try one new thing each day. Walk a new route across campus. Attend a
concert. Try a new salad dressing. It doesn’t have to be something big. Just look for new perspectives. Anne Vaden Use your mind and your education to make the world a better place. Visit that world, and learn how other people live. Be good, be kind, enjoy your lives. I’ll always count my years at TJ a special part of my life. Richard Washer I have reached that point in my career where I am paid NOT to work. I assume that’s a reflection of how good I am at not working.
