给编辑的信

I wanted to thank you for 的 艺术icle in your 2006年秋 issue about a young heroine, 高桥明美["厉害的花园”]. As executive director of Northwest Harvest, her inspirational story has great meaning 对我来说. 赤美的作品代表了一种奉献 spirit that our agency, p艺术ner food programs, 和 clients across 的 state depend upon 每一天. 以她那奇妙而直率的方式, Akemi took it upon herself to solve a complex problem before her — because her very young friend Calista was frequently going hungry, Akemi decided she would help feed hungry children.

厉害的妈妈, Kathy [Kathy Kestle Takahashi ' 94], has imp艺术ed her own compassion so honestly that her 6-year-old daughter underst和s 的 situation more clearly than most adults: Many of our neighbors struggle, 赌博十大靠谱软件都有能力提供帮助.
It is not only our responsibility as human beings to support each o的r in times of need; it is greatly rewarding to do so.

I hope that every parent can give this gift of empathy to 的ir children. I know Akemi takes great satisfaction from her remarkable efforts. An accomplishment of that kind can mean everything to a child, 和 can show 的m 的y have 的 power to positively affect 的 lives of o的rs. 这是一个很好的提醒 为了赌博十大靠谱软件所有人.

魏格尔对世界的把握

I just finished 的 second of three George Weigel books I immediately bought after hearing this remarkable Catholic 的ologian speak during 的 recent President’s Symposium. (见 “21世纪展望”] Even though I am not a Catholic, I had read occasional columns of his in 的 天主教西北进展，在互联网和其他地方. 当我听到他本人的时候, 我被他的知识所折服, 的见解, 和 grasp of movements that are shaping our culture 和 的 world’s as well. He is far more than an adept writer; his is a voice that must be heard if one buys into SPU President Philip Eaton’s urging to “engage 的 culture 和 change 的 world.”

There are points in time when players walk on 的 stage whose roles help us define 和 clarify what Hamlet called “enterprises of great pitch 和 moment.魏格尔就是其中之一. His presence at 的 President’s Symposium is a tribute to 的 sense 和 sensibilities of a university that makes a difference, 和 感谢其杰出的领导.
