Wins ’85, interim superintendent, during a ceremony in Cameron Hall this morning before leaving post for the rest of the semester.

This weekend was one of the best, interesting, and incredible weekends I have ever had. I was able to see a side of life that I definately have never seen before. I have so much respect for these men, not only have they gone through 3 years of absolute mental and phsyical challenges and hardships but they still have incredible spirit and just make you realize that it is important not to take life for granted. This weekend was absolutely and easily one of the most fun weekends i have ever had. Also, this was one of my favorite pictures of the night becuase it pretty much captured the laughter and crazy happiness that there was across the board. :)
