Hey Ben:

That is exactly why I wrote those words. I'm glad it hit the mark for you, it does my heart good to know that. Take care of yourself, Brother. I love that, "a mild come apart". Perfect understatement!

Ben, would you have any objection to me printing out a copy of your Forum post and putting it up in my department? I think it will further motivate my department, not that they need much motivation.

Hey Brother:

I've been swamped with stuff to do lately and haven't been as prompt on the community as I normally am. Go ahead and send me his info, it would be good to see what there doing down there.
Most university departments have dried up or been absorbed. The only reason we haven't is our location and the fact that we are responsible for a county area containing a good 20 - 22,000 people. So when we have student shortages,...it hurts.
