J. Frank Raley Jr. Passes Away

J. passed away recently.  Yall may best know him as the dude whose portrait is hanging in the Great Room (added in...2010???).  Also according to The Bay Net the Great Room is named after him (did u kno this???)

But more importantly without this 'bro' St. Mary's would be a much different place.  He was really instrumental in transforming SMCM into a 4-year institution. 

So thx Raley for helping to establish the St. Mary's we all <3 br="br">

Bed is Fixed

Last Friday I said that my bed had been lofted and now it was a foot from the ceiling. It is now several feet from the ceiling and I can successfully sleep there without fearing death. Also I now have a man cave underneath. In this cave is

• Lego
• Dirty clothes
• White Board
• A horse Mask
• Bags
• Shoes
• Bowling Alley

Alice Waldschmitt has passed away

Maggie just sent out an email saying that Alice has died. She was a trustee emerita. I had to look up the word emerita because I didn't think that it could be a real word, but apparently it means that she used to be a trustee. According to wiki the word is rarely used these days, and I think saying "a former board of trustees member" is a lot less obnoxious sounding.

Either way, Alice sounds like a very nice lady because the vast majority of old ladies are very nice. I am assuming she was an old lady because she died and the email didn't state her age, but it's totally possible that she was a cougar. Also, she has a winter home, so I guess she was pretty ballin'.

I will miss her!
