This past weekend, the Peavy family traveled to Nebraska to celebrate my Mom's retirement from
Wayne State College and meet our new cousin and nephew. While the weather was less than ideal, we enjoyed time with family, playing cards (D-man keeps asking to play pitch), Popo's, Prom Grand March, celebrating my mom's many achievements, and my sister's venture into motherhood. As usual, the boys were great travelers and enjoyed time with their cousins (and were SO great with their new cousin). Marshall and I enjoyed time with my parents and sisters (and watching our boys with their cousins).
It was such an honor to be able to be at the Pi Gamma Mu dinner on Monday night to celebrate my Mom's achievements. From kind words from colleagues, notes from former students, funny "Jean" stories, and special attendees, it was a kind and wonderful tribute to Mom's many accomplishments. While I have always been proud of my Mom and her work, I don't think I can ever grasp the positive affect she has had on so many students, faculty members, and Wayne State College. I was just glad to be there to celebrate her with the rest of my family. Not only has she had a wonderful professional career, she and Dad have provided such a wonderful foundation for me and my two sisters. I only hope that when I retire, I can look back on my life and have as much to be proud of as she has.
