OK folks -- consider this a preliminary invitation to a celebration on May 12 (Saturday) the day after graduation. Exact time and place to be determined but it will certainly be some place that played a big role in our history together . . . .

We can CELEBRATE! that the FUTURE is NOW! Bring your stories, your memories , your hopes (and love of conviviality!)

Reserve the date and stay tuned everyone . . . . .

The dark days of Mordor are almost passed . . .

Great idea, Stephen!  I will be there in spirit, but March 12 is the date of my university's graduation and I'm a little too far away to make it. BUT pictures are a must! I will expect them! Two thumbs up for brighter days ahead.

AW . . .  Emma we will miss you!!!

We WILL take pictures and post'em . . .  Hey -- maybe you could send a picture of yourself having a celebration and we can put it up!

In fact -- I hope everybody can come but if you can't send a pic (a photo file will do) and we will print them and then you will be there even though you aren't!

Capture a moment when you are making a toast -- because we will be doing plenty of them I am sure.

I'm teaching with a couple of USM ex-patriots. I'll be sure to take some snaps for that special day! Will do.

I'm afraid I will have to be there in spirit, too, as it's a long drive from Nashville to Hattiesburg.  But I will host my own celebration here and take pictures to share!  What a long time coming....enjoy the party, everyone!

Keep in mind that Shelby is president until May 20 - watch out for anyone in a dark suit and mirror sunglasses writing down names.....

I too shall have to celebrate from afar. Truth, if you think Nashville is a long drive, try driving from Gallup New Mexico. Flying is to expensive.

I'll figure out a way to send a photo so I will at least be there in spirit.

Remember the open faculty senate meeting in the spring of 2003--the first time we saw Hanbury.   Remember the faculty senate meeting when the unanimous vote of no confidence was taken--and Hanbury sitting in the back until the meeting was closed.   Thank goodness those days are over.

I completely remember that meeting -- a true day in infamy. But those days are almost over.

The folks in Whitewater says that our almost Prez goes to Senate faculty meetings and makes reports to the faculty each meeting. How civilized is that? One of my previous President's at SUNY New Paltz (also a woman) did likewise. No one EVER confused her for a pushover. But we also didn't feel as though we were out of the loop . . . .

Truth and Patti -- your pics would be faboo (rhymes with . . . . you know). Even though you won't be there in the flesh . . . but in the spirit. I am really anxious to see everyone's face and to see just how big this community is!

Yes, I saw that. A week or two ago the H.A. published pictures and information about its community columnists and he was one of them.

Dear Friends,

Some of you I know in person, many I know only from your posts. I wish I could be at the party to celebrate with all of you, but it's a long way to Hattiesburg from here, and I have professional obligations that weekend.

The great numbers of us who left USM in the midst of the Thames crisis will certainly be celebrating, wherever we are, and we'll be with you in spirit, you may be sure of that.

During this Easter season it seems appropriate to express the hope that USM will experience the miracle of its own resurrection during the coming administration! (It will take nothing less than a miracle.)

No Quarter -- ever again!!

I LOVE IT!

Also (from times past) -- brooms; no quarter buttons, and all of those other pieces of regalia that popped up. I hope the See More will show . . . and Noel Polk and Neil McMillan and all of those early heroes -- Doug Chambers!

Invictus -- does this mean you will be there too?

Stephen, count me as another former colleague who will "only be there in spirit" for the long-awaited party, as my "new job" responsibilities will keep me away from Hattiesburg.  I'll still have my "no SFT" button on my briefcase -- the one with Shelboo's face and the red diagonal slash.

I'm sure T-Fred can hang around and get the scraps from the table -- after the last five years I hate to see anyone, man or beast, get tied up.

Please keep us posted with the date, time and place.  I hope to attend to meet some of the fellow posters.

Can we bring fireworks???

Fireworks might be tough since we may well be somewhere where they might not be legal. However -- this is not to deny that some folks might wish to go somewhere afterward . . . . and "shine the light."!

Wasn't the purpose of the party to celebrate the departure of the out going president and to meet each other?
