This spring I returned to LSU. The last time I had been on the campus as a student was 1978-79. I am fairly old now, and I thought it may be important to express my findings about the students who I had come in direct contact with.
I must say that I have been so very impressed by the student body in its entirety. They are so very well spoken, and I had never heard a curse word from a single student’s mouth. Alone, that is an astonishing feat. One need only watch television to be unimpressed by the Hollywood clan and awestruck by the LSU ‘kids.’ I am disabled and ambulate with a cane amongst these students, and am astonished at their courtesy, honesty and general behavior.
I am not sure I shall be returning to LSU, but as a former student, I felt obligated to advance my extreme confidence in the youth at LSU. If they were the people upon which this country must expect to lead our future, then I rest assured we are in excellent hands.
I want to thank these people, these students, these fantastic few that shall soon be leading the way. As a closing note, please allow me to thank Dr. Spillman. His encouragement, knowledge, his reach for excellence and endearing manner shall always rest within my soul. May you all have a blessed and rich life.
P.S. Melissa – thank you, especially, for your friendship. You know who you are – Dr. Spillman’s class.
A very grateful and indebted student,
Brian Brewer
