Spotlight

CATHY'S CORNER: Well folks, after 22 years corresponding with you, this will be my last entry. I will retire from the Graduate English Office at the end of the Fall semester. I can't begin to mention all the friends I have met during my tenure as Graduate English secretary, but I will remember and cherish each and every one. I could literally make a trip around the world and find an old friend (or several) in each country I visit. My husband, DeWayne, and I have sold our home in Home, PA along with most of our belongings. We bought a fifth-wheel trailer and a truck to pull it. That is now our home, and we are already living in it. In January of 2009, it is our intention to head south--most likely Florida for this winter, and in the spring, head north and west ending up in Washington state to catch a cruise to Alaska in June. Then, we will make our way east catching the Dakotas and perhaps a little of Canada on the way. I have established a g-mail account so that I can keep track of everyone, and anyone who wants to can correspond with me, [crenwick48 at gmail dot com].

I just want to wish everyone just starting out a very successful career at IUP and beyond. And to all my friends in the U.S. and abroad, I'll be stopping by--leave the light on for me.

Warmly,
Cathy Renwick
