  • Commencement [2002]
    uu Sunday, May nineteen two thousand two Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/commencement20022002univ Commencement The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Sunday, May nineteen two thousand two The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Greetings from the Chancellor Dear Graduates: My warmest congratulations to each of you on reaching this wonderful milestone in your life! You have invested much time and work, and I hope you are proud to receive your Carolina degree. I am sure your family members and friends are thrilled to see you graduate. I speak for the University's faculty and staff when I say that we are proud of you, too. The 2002 commencement feels different from others in the recent past. All of us received a harsh reminder last September of how tenuous human life can be. Yet, in the days immediately after September 1 1 , Carolina students affirmed life by seizing opportunities - in classes, in informal dis- cussions and in the arts - to interpret and assimilate what happened on the day our nation was attacked. Daily life in Chapel Hill has returned to calm, but we now live with a new sense that peace is more uncertain than we ever knew. It is also a great blessing. My hope for you is that you will live each day, through good times and hard times, with a sense of purpose and fulfillment and optimism. If your education has strengthened the foundation on which you build your life, then I take terrific satisfaction in that. And as you build a career or a family or both, I hope your Carolina degree will be a means for you to enjoy personal prosperity - and much more.

  • The Complete History of Bettendorf Football: 1951 ‐ Present
    The Complete History of Bettendorf Football: 1951 ‐ Present An official production of www.bettendorffootball.com Edition 2.0 – January 5th, 2010 © 2002‐2010 © www.bettendorffootball.com Edition 2.0 – January 5, 2010 © www.bettendorffootball.com Edition 2.0 – January 5, 2010 2nd Edition Overview First things first: simply put, this is anyone who ever has been a fan of Bettendorf Football. Certainly, it’s for all the coaches and players—past and present—who have shaped a dynasty with their commitment, discipline, and hard work. Finally, it’s for the players of tomorrow who simply need to do one thing: “Uphold the tradition.” This project initially began in July of 2007 and after pestering Coach Habenicht to write an introduction—which he did right away on November 22, 2007—continued for the next year and a half. Finally, just before January 1st, 2009, the 1st Edition was finally completed. What exactly was done? Well, in short, all the information and data from the website was transferred into book form to preserve all the research and work that’s been done. Basically, if an EMP explodes or the site goes offline (for whatever reason), history has been preserved ala paper as opposed to digitally. Since the publication of that 1st Edition, more information has been updated. So, does that mean this 2nd Edition is perfect? Of course not—but every attempt possible was made to make it as error-free as possible. However, in the process of taking the website and putting it into book form, numerous errors from the site were discovered—spelling, capitalization, misprints of names, etc.—and such that, those errors have now been fixed.
