SWNID Tips Hat to Grads, Especially Marvin Sheets

In our work, every spring we know lots of folks who graduate from college. We offer this posting as a word of congratulations to all. But we especially congratulate Marvin Sheets, our brother from White Oak Christian Church.

Marvin is not graduating from our institution, for which we are the poorer. As today's Cincinnati Enquirer chronicles, he is graduating from Wilmington college with a bachelor's degree after having received an associate's degree from Cincinnati State in 2000.

Gentle readers should note that Marvin is an extremely nontraditional student, one who overcame all the obstacles associated with nontraditional education plus most recently carrying on a battle with cancer.

We toss the SWNID mortar board for Marvin and other members of the class of 2006. Well done!
