\"Tim-Hewitt-Celebration\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ben Hewitt ’05 sent me this photo a little before the Big Bash.<\/p>\n

Ben’s short note says: \u00a0This\u00a0is a picture of David Graham, Scott Yeazell, Cathy Yeazell, Brad Goff, Karen Hewitt, Paula Flynn and Ron Flynn. All were in attendance today for the Celebration of Life for Tim Hewitt ’72. Larry Landis and Vic DeRose were also in attendance. A great time was had by all!<\/p>\n

Ben Hewitt ’05<\/p>\n

I wasn’t sure if\/how\/when I would add this to the blog. \u00a0But it hit me at the Big Bash when I saw Paul Honan ’43, Pierce Green ’50, and many others. \u00a0As I have grown older, I remind myself that I have, like everyone else, an expiration date. \u00a0(That is a foreign concept to fighter pilots who are bulletproof!) \u00a0You don’t understand the concept when you’re younger…everyone lives forever at that stage…right?<\/p>\n

The Big Bash celebrates life…life and accomplishments. \u00a0And just as Tim’s friends and family celebrated his life and accomplishments, we do at the Big Bash as well. \u00a0Some class members are already gone…some are ailing…and some make it back with health and mobility challenges. \u00a0But we owe it to them all to celebrate Wabash, it’s impact on us, and also how we’ve invested that education. \u00a0Some have changed the world. \u00a0Steve Gross ’90 and his wife Melissa are teaching in Haiti. \u00a0Some have cared for other less fortunate than us. \u00a0Charlie Crowley ’70 and his wife Mary have done just that. \u00a0C. Davies Reed ’85 does God’s work as a Minister in Indianapolis. \u00a0Mauri Ditzler ’75, president of Albion College, is turning that fine institution around. \u00a0Peter Pactor ’65 has devoted a lifetime to teaching…and carries on today.<\/p>\n

So, I go back to Ben’s note. \u00a0“A great time was had by all.” \u00a0That’s because His father made a difference. \u00a0And so it is with Steve…Charlie…C. Davis…Mauri…Peter…and many more.<\/p>\n
