<b>Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Well, today's the last day for finals, for better or worse. (I hope
for better, of course.) That means that our students have completed
one more step toward their future careers and lives. It's really kind
of exciting when you think about it that way. We're all here to
prepare these young people for the rest of their lives, to help them
become successful, self-sufficient, productive adults. Of course,
until they get there, we'll just have to overlook when they goof off,
forget their meal cards, don't do their homework or lose it on the way
from their dorm room, etc., and focus on the big picture, the adult
they will someday become with a little help from all of us. <br>
<br>
After today, the Cafeteria will be closed until the evening of Jan. 1,
when we will reopen to serve a dinner meal to those students who are
enrolled in the special mini-mester class scheduled that week.
(Mildred and I will be working Mon. and Tues. of next week, but no
meals will be served.) <br>
<br>
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas break, with all the things
and people around that make you happy, and everyone comes back whole,
happy and healthy ready to teach, learn and just enjoy reaching for and
attaining their next goal at Eastern.<br>
<font size="+2"><br>
Our menu for today includes:<br>
<br>
Hot roast beef and cheddar on a bun<br>
Broccoli and cheese soup<br>
Chips<br>
<br>
And we have Ranger Cookies for dessert.</font> (They may not sound
like much, but they're really yummy. Just ask Trisha.)<br>
<br>
Have a great break and be safe,<br>
<br>

<br>
P. S. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Betsy, Rich and Marian.
Take care of yourselves.<br>
