Message from CQS Director Karen Catone:
"Editor Kate Kennedy is looking for blogs -- especially from YOU."
My mother taught me to do as told by my leaders, so here goes.
Each Chips Quinn Scholars class has brought together an impressive range of young adventurers with an abundance of hopes and ambitions. But each class also has demonstrated its own bit of character and style. So it is with the Summer Class 2007, to wit:
* At least 13 are bringing laptops, seven with I-Pods (whatever they are) and six, bless them, are packing their AP Stylebooks
* Two are bringing Bibles, several with photos of loved ones, especially the Scholar who is living away from home for the first time.
* One is packing only laptop and toothbrush, another packing toothpaste; hope they get together.
* Plenty of sunscreen is packed, at least two bathing suits, including one whose intern newspaper is "tantalizingly close to the beach."
* Two bikes, a pair of hiking boots, a guitar, a dog and a cat, but "with my allergy medicine."
* Two are into journalism because they decided they were not cut out for million-dollar major-league sports contracts.
* Five are going to newspapers where Chips worked --Poughkeepsie, Providence and Salem, where there is a photo wall of earlier CQSers.
* And one has smartly packed with the CDs and books "a voracious appetite for knowledge." Amen to that.
On that note, let us all proceed to get better acquainted, enjoy each other and bond into another class of the unique Chips Quinn Scholars family. Go for it, everyone, and good luck. God bless.
