Thanks for the Memories<\/b><\/p>\n
I so enjoyed a resurgence of pleasant CC memories as I noted your remembrance of Dr. Glenn Gray and the mention of Dr. Penland\u2019s participation in the herbarium. I spent many pleasant hours sorting and collating Dr. Penland\u2019s plant collection, particularly his Penstemon penlandii<\/i>. I had come to CC interested in a journalism career, though there were no majors in that subject then, but got happily sidetracked into a botany major and a lasting friendship with Dr. Penland instead.<\/p>\n

I just received my copy of the Bulletin<\/i> and am discouraged that there is such a paucity of information from the classes of the \u201950s and \u201960s!<\/p>\n
I thoroughly enjoyed the article \u201cRemembering Glenn Gray\u201d by Dr. Fuller. I was very fortunate, as a chemistry major, to have chosen one of Dr. Gray\u2019s philosophy classes as an elective during my sojourn at CC.\u00a0 He still stands out in my mind as one of the best professors that I was ever exposed to.\u00a0 He was a true scholar in every sense of the word and made me very conscious of the true meaning of a liberal education . . . a staunch advocate of the Latin adages: \u201cCogito, ergo sum<\/i>\u201d and \u201cMens sana in corpore sano<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article in the August 2014 Bulletin by Robert \u201cPat\u201d Mailhouse brought smiles and many satisfying memories to my mother, who attended CC from 1938 to 1942 along with my father, now deceased three years.<\/p>\n
Dad, Philip Bissell \u201942<\/b>, also graduated from Hillhouse High School in New Haven, Conn., ventured out to Colorado and CC, pledged Phi Gamma Delta, and served in WWII upon graduation. My parents met Pat at CC and often mentioned his name many years ago.<\/p>\n
Mom, Mary Alice \u201cGibby\u201d Gibbs Bissell \u201942<\/b>, was from Denver and pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma, married Dad after graduation, and raised our family in Colorado Springs after the war. We attended every Homecoming football game, visiting the sorority and fraternity open houses with our parents when we kids were little. It was part of our fun, fall routine.<\/p>\n
Mom is 93 now, lives in Broomfield, Colo., and has many fond and similar memories from her CC days just as Pat does. Congratulations and thank you to Pat and his successful scholarship grant. And most of all, thank you to Colorado College for playing an important role in the formation of these and all the remarkable individuals who have received their education there.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\nCaroline (Bissell) Cabildo<\/p>\n
