Freshman Trips and Looking Forward

To the Editor:

As I am preparing to let go of a wonderful body of individuals who have represented the 05 class, I think back on the day I left for Darmouth. It was Septemeber 10th, 2001, the last day anyone was allowed to say farewell to their loved one at the gate of the airport. Dartmouth sustained the community I needed to embrace after September 11, and it also allowed my classmates and I to reach for a higher understanding of peace throughout the world.

Everything changed on September 11th. Luckily, we got a chance to address that need that spread goodwill across the world. We were breathless at the destruction of the terrorists, and we are breathless at the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. God Bless.
