College was the best and I was lucky to get a great education and career. Plus, I met Kevin which may not have happened otherwise. You will always be one of my greatest mentors. <BR/><BR/>Diane (Bellino) Cassatt, Class of '82Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989209526508260999.post-38498641549968211452009-02-03T02:13:00.000-08:002009-02-03T02:13:00.000-08:00Before Maryellen's course, College Study Skills, I...Before Maryellen's course, College Study Skills, I wasn't sure I'd even go to college (let alone throw on 10 years of it :-) I'm convinced that it doesn't really matter when one decides to catch the wave. What matters most are the fine words and gentle acts of encouragement from those you admire, those who ride the waves with such finesse no matter what. Thank you for sharing YOUR wondeful gifts. I will always remember, never forget.<BR/><BR/>Jim Bruno, Hall Class of '79Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989209526508260999.post-76154108845582433342009-02-03T02:10:00.000-08:002009-02-03T02:10:00.000-08:00Thanks Maryellen.

Y...I enjoyed your reflections on Hall in 100 Bells. Your British Literature class taught me to write and was largely responsible for me being able to proficiency out of Rhetoric in college. I used all the college study skills you taught, too. When most kids were pulling all-nighters, I was getting a good night's sleep! <BR/>Softball was fun and we were pretty darn good.<BR/>Thanks for getting all of us off to a good start in college. Congratulations on your retirement!<BR/>Beth (Okleson) McCollum<BR/>Hall Class of '83Maryellen Pientahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616933745082415951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989209526508260999.post-69614587220878554142009-01-15T06:19:00.000-08:002009-01-15T06:19:00.000-08:00Thanks Maryellen.
