HISTORY
SID '90; STARTED WORKING AT RICE IN 1998
MY WIFE AND I WERE RAs AT BAKER.
MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY
OFFERED A PRE-DOC/POST-DOC POSITION. STAYED WHEN DISSER-
TATION WAS FINISHED BECAUSE IT WAS A GOOD JOB.
WELL, WIESS IS THE PLACE THAT TOOK [US]. WE DECIDED THIS YEAR
THAT BEING COLLEGE MASTERS IS SOMETHING WE WOULD LIKE TO
TRY. IT WAS THE SPIRIT. THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY BUT NOT JUST
THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY, BUT I APPRECIATED THE THOUGHTFUL-
NESS THAT WENT INTO BUILDING THE COMMUNITY AND THE SENSE
OF COMMUNITY.

FROM TREEBEARDS DOWNTOWN IN MARKET SQUARE.
I DIG W. E. B. DU BOIS. I DIG THE FOLKS THAT CAME OUT OF THE RECON-
STRUCTION.
THAT rrs RANDOM. THAT ASSIGNMENTS ARE RANDOM.
GOOD LISTENING SKILLS, GOOD HUMOR.
•I USED TO HAVE THOSE OWLS THAT WERE KEPT IN THE LOVETT
QUAD BUT I GUESS IPS BEST WE DON'T KEEP LIVE OWLS."

MARRIED TO DR. BYRD.
SINCE 1998
WE WERE RAs AT BAKER IN 2000.
THE CULTURAL VARIETY SHOWS.
THE HOT, HOT WEATHER.
WE WOULD GET TO BEA SERVICE NOT JUST TO THE COLLEGE BUT
TO THE STUDENTS. AFTER WE COMPLETED THE INTERVIEWS, WIESS
WAS OUR NUMBER ONE CHOICE BECAUSE OF THE STUDENTS AND
THE PEOPLE ON THE COMMITTEE AND HOW THEY TOOK THE SEARCH
VERY SERIOUSLY AND THE LEADERSHIP OF THE STUDENT BODY.

ITS SOMETHING I DIDN'T GET TO EXPERIENCE IN COLLEGE: ONCE YOU
GET ASSIGNED YOU GETTO STAY THERE AND BUILD A FAMILY THERE.
BE A GREAT LISTENER. MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THE SITUATION.
