It is nice to be remembered . . . PP only waits until the conditions that precipitate a return to covert identities reasserts itself --meaning when it once again seems genuinely dangerous to say what one thinks. However, I think these days it is possible to poke one's head cautiously up above the battlements and not get it shot off.

That is hardly a recommendation for discarding caution however.

Reading all of your rememberances brought back many thoughts. I am so glad that the first names on the list were the Stringers and Frank. One day -- we should raise money for a memorial to academic freedom at USM and their names should be on it. And Noel -- because he is living proof that what the barbarians of academia with false charges cannot do in driving good people away, heartbreak can, and did.

For those who grieve in silence -- our day will come.

On this Thanksgiving (well, one day late) I'm thankful for those who will not forget.

My thanks also go out to this community and especially to all of you who are still fighting the good fight every day at USM (faculty *and* staff...where would they be without the staff??).

I was thinking the other day about when this all hit the fan last March, and I was so angry at the injustice of it all and felt so powerless. Now, I realize that we all found the power to make the situation better by creating this community, and I'm grateful for all of you who post (even those I don't always agree with). One of my favorite quotes addresses this:

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

--Margaret Mead

Hope everyone had a great T-day!

Hi, Chicken Soup Lady--alas, I have no recipe to share with you! We bought this fabulous pie at Whole Foods in Raleigh NC. But I can tell you about it: regular bottom crust, nice firm apples (probably Granny Smith, with some lemon I think), a sort of sour cream custard around the apples, and a streusal topping with walnuts.

Great stuff!! you might be able to figure out how to do it--I think the sour cream would be the hard part--

cheers,
Anne
