The Three A’s Revisited
As the holidays pass so quickly signaling the completion of yet another year, we pause and reflect.
Saying “Thank You”
As I depart the Academy and say, “thank you,” I feel the need to recognize others whose influences on my life have been profound. First, my parents and siblings. I am one of 11 children—five older and five younger—eight of whom are still living, and they bless my life in indescribable ways.
