Yesterday, I mailed off my National Alumni Association Dues, for the nominal $25, annual fee. This is my first time paying national dues since graduating! I must admit, I have a renewed sense of pride and responsibility for my alma mater. Paying $25 annually is nothing, compared to my experience and my life there after. I'm not one to say about people's money, "What you need to do is..." especially in today… Continue

KSU's own Charlotte Scott wrote a children's book explaining some of the miracles of Jesus. It's not just for smaller kids, but for the "big" little kids too like 10-12. Amazon is out of stock right now, but if you're interested, you can purchase the book through the publisher @… Continue

It could buy him a nice lunch/dinner somewhere.

When signing, be sure to include the years you were in CC (if you… Continue

I'm sure 99% of us watched the Inauguration yesterday. It's not a day, I'll just remember, but cherish. I especially loved it when George and Laura got on the plane, headed back to TX. Whew-hoo!!!! As Pam on Martin, would say "Peace!"
