Dr. Snow, professor of Behavioral Sciences, retires after 28 years at ETBU. Dr. Snow received her bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees from East Texas State University, now Texas A&M-Commerce. She also served ETBU as associate vice president for Student Affairs as well as director of Continuing Education and the Counseling Center.

“Her broad knowledge, vast experience and keen sensitivity to the needs of others have made her invaluable to the Department of Behavioral Sciences and to the university,” said Dr. Lynn New, Dean of the School of Natural and Social Sciences. “Dr. Snow has been a great colleague who always has been ready to help and willing to do more than her share. She has been totally committed to the well-being of students.”

Hello from Jean Crawley

Hello all:
This is my first effort at getting into this party and have enjoyed reading what has gone before.
I was married (as most of you know) to Don Broadus for fifteen years. I am going to try to include our only decent wedding picture and later some others that perhaps will highlight some of our adventures.
It was an adventure, in that Don was about the most enthusiastic person I have ever known.
His passion for the goal of being his own boss never wavered and I think he still had it the day he died.
We have three girls, Kelly, Ruth Ann, and Teri. I will try to send updated pictures later when we can get together and have some made. Kelly is somewhere in the midwest tonight heading towards Montana & Portland.
Her Daughter Christie works all different hours and is hard to catch. I only learned today that she has an email address which she checks at a friend's house. You will have to ask Kelly for that as I don't have it at the moment.
Some of you may not know that Kelly and I drive a truck which is leased to Landstar Ranger.
Sometimes we swap out as now, and sometimes we go together.
Sometime I am going to write a book about sharing a eight-foot square box with your daughter,
but just now I am going to have to figure out how to word it without profanity.
Teri homeschools her daughter, Chrystal and did have a beauty shop for awhile. She is now cleaning houses, along with Chrystal and is happier than she was in the shop.
I must apologize in advance for most of the pictures I am posting will be old black & white photos of lousey quality because that is all we had at the time.
Those of you who knew Don knew of his optimism and anything he tackled was done wholeheartedly.
During our marriage we were (but not in any particular order) aircraft plant workers, government salvage sorters, assistant boat inventors, ammunition box moguls, owners of 500 artic wool socks, milk cow chasers, goat ropers, boxer dog draggers(he drug us), reverse okies leaving California in what looked like a gypsy caravan, firework stand hawkers, chicken farmers, chicken slaughterers, rabbit herders, nurses aid(me), migrants from Kansas to Texas, Billie Sol Estes dominoes, Mama cows to a herd of persistently dying calves( Dave knows), pig hustlers,
(which included clam shell rakers and cookie factory reject sorting)home builders, home remodelers, home wreckers, home movers, homeless, annnnnnnnnndddd not at home most of the time.
If you think this is a tease, you're right cause most of what I am doing now is too boring to write about so I, like most older folks will live in the past for awhile. Only here tho as I have knitted myself quite a large bag of string to unravel and that keeps me pretty busy but I can't be accused of wearing out a rocking chair. (Well, I do log some time there)
Again, thanks for the invite, I think it will be good to cleanse the mind.
Plus I am enjoying what has been done here. Kudos to the host & hostess.
Jean

NEW PICTURE POST FEATURE

GOOD NEWS!
Blogger has added its own picture upload feature. When you are in the Create or Edit box, look on the top row with all the little symbols. On the right side next to the ABC there is a picture symbol. Click on it and it will open the page to add a picture to your post page. From there you can either find a picture stored on your computer, or link to a picture on a different web site.

This will eliminate the need to download Hello or any other program. If you need more information, go to the Help page in Blogger and click the link "How do I post pictures" and it will walk you through it.

Thanks to Pat Broadus for finding this new feature and being the first to use it.

NOTICE: After some family enscussions, we have agreed that no one will post pictures without the consent of the person(s) in the picture. That is common coutesy, of course, but also could avoid any more serious issues that could possibly arise.

As for pictures already posted, consider this a blanket request for permission. If you want any picture of yourself removed, or just do not want any pictures of yourself posted for any reason, please let either David Broadus or Carolyn Snow know and the pictures will be removed. This is designed to be a fun exchange among a large and diverse family, so we do want everyone comfortable with any individual pictures posted.

This is a picture of my oldest grandson (21) Cory Langner and I at my son Matthew's wedding last May.
