<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I was surprised yesterday when my daughter, Destiny, and Kim Pick's
son, Keith, popped in on me in my office. They, along with a whole
herd of other students from Wilburton and several other schools, were
attending the College Fair upstairs in the Student Center, and had
picked up a bag of informative handouts, along with pens, pencils,
etc. from Eastern and various other educational institutions, to help
them make a better informed decision concerning their higher education
plan. <br>
<br>
And later yesterday morning, I got to be present when the Staff Council
presented Karen Darby with the Employee of the Month award for
September. If it seems awfully late to be presenting the award for
September with only a few days left in October, then you'll get an idea
just how busy Karen is with her recruiting duties. There were weeks
when we couldn't pin down a time to catch her to present the award.
Finally we managed to find a few spare minutes, between the College
Fair and her afternoon "to do" list. We had filed into the outer
office where London's desk is and quietly told her we were there to see
Karen, but before she could let her know, Karen began speaking to her
from her office, outlining all the things she still had to do that day,
and it went on and on, with her completely unaware that there was an
office full of people waiting to congratulate her. When Helen went in
to get her, and she came out and saw us all, I think she thought she
was being confronted by a lynch mob. She was looking to see if there
was a pink slip in anyone's hand, or a box to pack her things in. She
was both surprised and relieved to find out the real reason for our
presence in her office. Congratulations, and keep up the good work,
Karen! <br>
<br>
It should be a scary time on campus tonight with the Halloween Dance
scheduled for this evening. Can't wait to see pictures of that! And
of course, the Halloween Carnival is tomorrow evening and the Haunted
Dorm will open to take in new victims...I mean visitors.<br>
