The Times Record Has Definitely Got Grit!

We were extremely pleased this morning to see the very thorough and interesting reporting about our little project on the front page--yes, the front page--of the Times Record. Thanks so much to their intrepid reporter Amy Sherrill (that's two r's and two l's) for the coverage. Thanks also to Dean Rinne for his support, to our current favorite graduate, Jacqueline West, for her input, and, of course, to Professor Kelly Jennings for doing the "smart part" of the interview. We are pleased to see that Fort Smith and the region's best newspaper have, in fact, Got Grit.
Don't forget--and you won't 'cause I'll remind you--about our gathering on Wednesday evening at 5:30 at the Varsity. All interested parties from both the campus and the community are invited to attend. We'll just get acquainted with each other and share ideas in an informal atmosphere. After all, this should be fun, right? By the way, the picture accompanying the blog post this morning is of Charles Portis with John Wayne on the set of the movie.
