When my dad died on October 22 I lost more than I can even comprehend.  Forever is a hard word to think, much less say.  Likewise, saying thank you is not really enough for all of you here at NMC who have supported me in this time. The plant the college sent sits in my living room, reminding me of the woods my dad loved and what is good in the world.  My dad would have liked that.  I know I do.
