Letter to the editor: Kind people still exist on campus

By KANSAN

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

I never thought I would be writing one of these letters, but due to circumstances beyond my control, here it is. I would like to thank the four or five students and one instructor who stopped to help me Wednesday morning around 10 a.m. when I gracefully took a tumble down the concrete stairway between Murphy Hall and the Art & Design Building. I fell forward on my forehead and I can’t remember anybody’s name—that’s my story and I’m sticking with it! All I know is that KU has some very caring and compassionate students who make me proud to be not only an employee but also an alumna (MSJ ‘86) of this wonderful university of the Midwest. Many, many thanks to my good Samaritans—you know who you are! I shall pay it forward now.

—Nancy Hawkins, Gorton Music & Dance Library
