I remember KC quite well. I think he had a positive impact on a lot of students fortunate to know him. Those were good days and glad to see some of the old gang -Brock and Mark are still there.

I wonder if you also had contact with Sid Boutwell, who was dean of men for several years. He may have slipped out the door just as you were arriving. I'm very curious to know what happened to him since I never read anything about his departure in alumni mailings. Thanks! Dave,

I know the name Sid Boutwell, but I never knew him. KC, of course, knew him well, and I think he was KC's mentor, as a matter of fact. Renie, I can imagine the close of that letter to the streaker: "Please accept my very best wishes." KC always wrote that, no matter how harsh or deprecating the rest of the letter was. Hi Mark.

Renie, I can imagine the close of that letter to the streaker:

“Please accept my very best wishes.”

KC always wrote that, no matter how harsh or deprecating the rest of the letter was.

I was an RA at Vandy 95-97 and KC copied me on lots of disciplinary letters to some of my residents. I really remember his letter to our infamous streaker. It was something like "I trust that in the future you will reveal that you are capable of leaving a more positive mark on the Vanderbilt campus." KC retired the next year. Loved him!

I have an analogy for friendships over the course of your life. It's like raking leaves -as you drag your rake through your yard, different leaves get pulled in and others fall off. The few that remain within the forks of the rake, however, are your lifelong friends. It's not meant to be profound, but I've always found it a convenient way to visualize the phenomena of friendship life cycles. I enjoyed your blog Dave.
