I am honored to have the opportunity to dedicate a brick in the I. S. U. Plaza of Heroins to my twin sister, Chris.
Two summers ago I took a tour of a large brick factory. I observed how the moist clay was dug from the earth; conbined with a variety of colors and textures; and eventually formed and heated in a brick oven to produce a functional as well as beautiful piece of art. I was amazed at the time and labor involved in this process.
Similar to the earth, you were born with natural abilities within you: creative, athletic and intellectual. Your life has been an evolution of developing these talents. Your love of life has shown best by your participation in life: Your dedicated role as wife and mother; your involvement in bettering the lives of children through volunteer work; the success of your graphic design business; and your love of competition through sport. These "colors and textures" have formed who you are.
You have emerged into a woman who is solid, firm and someone on whom others can lean. The brick I dedicate to you this winter of 1995, as well as your legacy, will endure. 1/29/95 |
