Sits a few rows behind and one section over from our seats in 218 - she is seems to be at most games.

I totally misread that and thought they hired an 85-year-old...made me instantly question whether this was a move that was motivated for the future...glad I re-read it ;)

The best choice for a dean's position at Marquette in years. A fine scholar and teacher and an even better human being.
