DESCRIPTION
Presentation given at the honors reception on 2/3/12.
Citation preview
“I found all kinds of joy when I was in the
company of my friends – talking, laughing and
being kind to each other – reading, engaging
books together – going from the lightest joking
to talking of the deepest things and back again.”
- St. Augustine, Confessions
