I HAD 111E opportunity t m t
Mr. Val ntine in th ummer of 1974,
f hmen at LMC. He w t
only my dvisor, but he was my men r
well. H inspired me to be a tiv in
tudent affairs and with the Delta Phi
i Sorority.
H hared with m how important
it is to learn about one' self before
haring my life with olhe .. Each time
I would communicat with him, h
would giv m hi undivided uenu n.
I gained wi dom and unde tanding
which has played a reatpart of wh I
am today.
He had unbelievable paticn c.
rem mber when my father p 00,
how hc allowed me t expres my con­
cerns. I want d to ta e thi opportuni ty
to y, thank you much for taking
he time out of y ur life to help me in
h ping mine. All your hard efforts
an dvis r, m nt r, and friend hav � n t
gon unappreciated. I f�l greatly
honored to have been under hi _
tutelage.
Today, 1 have a bright future and a
