As their gift I decided to write "A Collection of Life Lessons and Stories as Seen Through the Eyes of Their Daughter" to honor them and everything they have taught me . My brother proofread it for me. and told me 'several times how impressed he . was with · the content and that he loved · the idea. His fiancee was also ·moved and expressed her approval. They even asked for their own copy. When .I presented it to my parents, they were a bit confused. I tried to explain. then asked them to just read it, hoping they would understand how much I love, re spect and cherish them. Dad read it that night and . simplr said, "Nice." Mom read ti at work a few days later. Her comment, "It was a nice tribute." My brother asked them what their thoughts were; he was sure they would appreciate the effort that went into it. . He seemed as confused by their cool reaction as I was. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but "nice" was not it! Not one thing has been mentioned about it since, and frankly, the whole thing has left me a bit hurt. Am I a spoiled brat looking for recognition. or am I justified iri my hurt feelings '! FEELING EMPTY IN FLORIDA DEAR FEELING EMPTY: A gift such as the one you have . described must have taken much time and effort, so it's not surprising that you are hurt and disappointed that your parents "ho-hummed" it. The time may have come to a~k · yourself -if your past efforts to . please them, or to excel, were : greeted in · a similarly with. holding manner, bec<!use it's a technique that some people use to control others. I wouldn't blame you if in the future, you remembered your parents' anniversaries : with something less personal : - a "nice card," a token gift. or even an epilogue for the book titled "More Life Lessons My Parents · Taught Me ." l'm sure something will come to mind.

Shortly thereafter, a good friend of mine lost his father, who was nearly the same age at his passing. Both men had served in World War II and bo~h fought in the Battle · of the Bulge. where my friend's father was severely wounded. Bqth menwere highly decorat!!d and honorably discharged for their service. At both memorial services, a group of veterans honored both inen for their service to country. The ceremony, the playing of :'Taps" and the presentation of the flag is impressive. I have attended many services in which this same group of dedicated men and women have hot)ored their fallen comrades over and over again. They do this quietly and with little fa,nfare .. It is in keeping with the highest t~aditions of all branches of the United States military that these great men and women continue to serve their country and fellow soldiers even after iheir service obligation was considered to be complete. The actions of these men and women who currently serve, or have served in the past. have brought great dignity and honor to the loved ones of the fallen veterans of Galli a County: · .

Taking its place beside other best movie songs like "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," "Moon River," " A Whole New World," and "Fame," the pimp song, performed in the film "Hustle and Flow," is now enshrined forever in movie history.

Cy nthia Kirkhart, who lives in Rio Grande, is one of the' students who enrolled in the program in the fall . ''My current employer values continuing education in terms of our performance evaluations," Kirkhart said. She previously had earned a master's degre.e in psychol-ogy, but felt that she needed an MBA degree, too. "With the direction that I am taking now in my career, a business foundation would certainly benefit further advancement in our corporation in particular," Kirkhart said. The program has been going well , and Kirkhart said the recent technological and broadband Internet improvemen \' oil the Rio Grande campus have made a big difference in the class. Students .in the MBA program take classes on the Rio Grande campus, but talk to students on the Athens campus and on · other campus through video feeds . The students and professors on different campuses are able to talk back and · forth. and are able to work together. "It's all working pretty well," Kirkhart said. Like many ar~a residents, Kirkhart wan ted to earn her MBA, but she did not want to· have to travel to another campus to enroll in a program. "The Rio Grande site is actually what pulled me into thinking about enrolling in the program," Kirkhart said. "It's so easy. It's right here, rather than having to travel to another campus every weekend." . The Professional MBA' program takes 22 months to complete, and courses are offered in the evenings and on weekends in order to meet the scheduling needs of area residents. Students do occasionally . travel to the Athens campus or to other sites. .but most of the work is done on the Rio Grande campus. The program also features on-line discussions between professors and students. although none of the . course is offered completely over the Internet. )f,,' OU sends its professors to the Rio Grande campus to teach the · •• students here, but the Rio Grande students also.work with the students and professors on OU's Athens campus and .at the other campuses through the high-speed video links. · In addition to learning about business from the professors and students, the Pnifessional MBA program students also have the chance to interact with business communities in southeaSt Ohio so · that they can learn from regional business leaders and S.Ol!mltted photo create a much larger network Sheila McGuire., left, a local artist, is shown donating one of of business professionals. her original creations , "Good Morning, Sunshine," to a worthy For more in.formaiion the cause.
