A missal I received in ’13 from 1988,
a note from Stanfield, the late great
professor from TJC
a friend of you and me
who went on to Purdue fame
but one who was always the same
hard-assed and hard-nosed prof.
who would never let us off
without giving our best
and may his soul rest
in the knowledge that he
did his best
and we
his students from TJC
are the beneficiaries.
And among many others
that means Vicki, friend                                                                                                                               who found and               forwarded                                                                                                                           said note,
and me.
