Thanksgiving on ETSU campus

Biggest tip for mailing in the Tricity area- go to the ETSU post office at the Culp Center. By far the friendly service and beautiful views. No matter how many times I walk away from the Culp Center toward my office in Rogers Stout I am stunned at the beauty of the meandering stream and weeping willow. Although not in this pictures, the last two days in Johnson City/Jonesborough have displayed a bright blue sky that I've only ever seen in Austin Texas.

The Post Office is a service at ETSU and the postlady said it was more like a consignment shop for them b/c they have to pay out in cash to the official po every day. I sent Tayler a box from there and it showed up with mulitude of state stamps which the kids framed b/c they said it looked like art work.

Sometimes joy in life really can be a weeping willow on the way to a friendly post person who gives out unusual stamps under a clear blue sky......just sometimes.

Fall at ETSU

When I worked for the Tennessee Department of Education from 2000-2004, one of my biggest regrets is that I did not take enough pictures of my travels, or write down the stories and connections that might snapshot wonderful Tennesee moments. Now that I've rejoined TDE- traveling as much as I did before....- I've been given a second chance.  So, here are those random pics, thoughts, and connections.

ETSU Music Department is alive and well everywhere on campus. It is not unusual to walk through campus and see the many students carrying their instruments on their backs or in their hands. One of the most wonderful parts of the campus is to see those many skilled musicians playing solo or practicing together. These young men let me film their practice this evening. ETSU should brag about their music program

TTrekking my way across campus to meet Dean Hal Knight, the sites and smells of fall were everywhere. The bright warmth of the sun on a fall horizon is something to experience with the multicolors of fall trees. Included here are a couple of the shots I was able to take post meeting late afternoon. Although the Reece Museum is currently being renovated, there is much to see throughout the campus. ETSU Arts on Campus has a listing of events and information on some of the art found throughout the campus.
