Thank you all for your support. We buried Dr. Hall yesterday, just as she would have liked...the Chorale sang, her wonderful poetry was read, and one of the departmental professors gave an incredible eulogy. He had us all laughing when he compared her to Julia Sugarbaker of "Designing Women"--right on the money there--and in tears when he talked about how she set our bearings for us, how she always seemed to know what to do next.

We'll miss the tall, angular Southern belle with the big dimple. See you in Heaven, Dr. Hall.
