Founder's Day

Enjoyable visit yesterday morning before the Founder's Day Convocation with Dr. Larry Grimes, Emeritus Professor of English and Dean of the Buffalo Seminary. Larry signed his new book, "Hemingway, Cuba, and the Cuban Works," for my collection.


Visiting with internationally-acclaimed columnist, Harvard Scholar, and Bethanian Jeffrey Seglin ('78) before he delivered the keynote address at yesterday's 174th anniversary Founder's Day Convocation in Commencement Hall.
