If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the

passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the

possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so foaming, what so

fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!

--Kierkegaard--

An actual conversation,March 8, 2010….

What pivotal events in the past of the BSOM should remain in our minds as

important lessons for the future?

The whole atmosphere of the early days.

It was an exciting time.

We were like rock stars.

Something really big for ECU and Eastern North Carolina.

It was going to be a big deal.

Lots of people not connected to ECU

would say “Wow! This is really

cool!!”

It has improved the quality of

healthcare.
