The Monday Morning Memo

On a Happier Note…
Dec. 23, 2009

This is your Art Gallery/Banquet Hall/Lecture Hall/Library/Stardeck Tower.

The gravel approach will be deepened and paved with flagstone and the ledges to the left and right will be cleaned and landscaped.  When you reach the McDowall entrance to the Art Gallery, you're 14 feet underground. That door is nearly 11 ft. tall. The one above it, the Backus entrance to the Property Guys Banquet Hall,  is nearly 12 ft.

Those 4 side-by-side glass doors are MUCH bigger than they look in this photo. When the tower is completed, these doors – donated by the daughters of Dave and Julie Young – will open from the Lecture Hall (as yet unsponsored) onto a balcony.  That balcony will be covered by a copper roof suspended from iron struts descending from the 4 implanted iron diamonds you see in line with the trio of windows donated by Scott and Lindsey Fraser, just below the McInnis Stardeck.

Like I said, this is your tower, your school.
McDowall, Backus, Property Guys, Young, Fraser, McInnis.
And those are just 5 of the more than 300 families
that have joined together to build a business school.

Random Quote:

“In the kingdoms of England, the sound of the bells is already one of the customs of the afternoon, but the man, while still a boy, had seen the face of Woden, had seen holy dread and exultation, had seen the rude wooden idol weighed down with Roman coins and heavy vestments, seen the sacrifice of horses, dogs, and prisoners. Before dawn he would be dead and with him would die, never to return, the last firsthand images of the pagan rites. The world would be poorer when this Saxon was no more.

We may well be astonished by space-filling acts which come to an end when someone dies, and yet something, or an infinite number of things, die in each death—unless there is a universal memory, as the theosophists have conjectured. There was a day in time when the last eyes to see Christ were closed forever. The battle of Junín and the love of Helen died with the death of some one man. What will die with me when I die? What pathetic or frail form will the world lose? Perhaps the voice of Macedonio Fernandez, the image of a horse in the vacant space at Serrano and Charcas, a bar of sulfur in the drawer of a mahogany desk?”
