"He's a good guy, just very energetic."
"I love to watch him SKI! Chad has a style all his own, and you can tell him from the top of the mountain. Go for LEVEL III Chad!"
"Drives me crazy, always being late and loosing things. Has improved with car
keys, but can never find his cell phone."
"I wish he would get up when his alarm goes off, and not use the snooze button for an hour."
"It's impossible not to like Chad."
"Chad always brought life to every class he was in. He
lives life, embraces it, and hangs on, even when there
is a bump in the proverbial road! Go get em', Chad!"
"Duh." [We believe he really means this.]
"[S]ome observations...
"Chad exhibits a great deal of sensitivity. He embraces all aspects of life,
especially those requiring him to be out of doors. I've always thought of
him as potential mountain-man material—probably the only place he'll
ever be truly happy. On the other hand, he is highly adaptable and can fit
in with all walks of life. I can't wait to see what he does next!"
Brian Todd Simmons, fellow ceramist and accounting student:
"Chad reminds me of my father in that he makes friends easily, and once you're his friend, he'll do anything for you. And for him to realize that you've betrayed the friendship, you'd pretty much have to beat him over the head with a 2 X 4. A 2 X 2 just wouldn't do."
"The best thing about the future is that it comes only
one day at a time." —Abraham Lincoln (C. A. D.)
