His face was impassive. No clues there. Finally, after what seemed like a long time, he spoke. “You could live to be 120 years old,” he said. I smiled because I thought he was joking. “I’m not sure I want to be 120 years old,” I replied, flippantly. “You’re assuming that you would be 120 and have some sort of impairment. What if your quality of life were still good?” he coun- EDITOR’S NOT tered, with an earnestness that surprised me. It took me a second to grasp that he was serious. He went on to say that he believes it might be possible to live much longer than we can imagine right now. The timing of our conversation was apropos, because I’ve been thinking about the passage of time a lot as we have prepared this issue. An article about the new Ernest J. Gaines Center, for instance, reminded me that the first cover story I wrote for La Louisiane, in Fall 1993, was about Ernest Gaines. He told me that he would always be loyal to the university because of the opportunity it had given him to concentrate on his writing. Like one of the honorable characters in his novels, he has kept his word.

In Cajun country, we’ll make you feel right at home - whether you prefer to dance at a festival or catch a sunset over the cypress trees. With Zydeco rhythms, Cajun & Creole flavors, Louisiana scenery and Southern hospitality you’ll agree – there’s no place like Lafayette. Lafayette Convention & Visitors Commission www.lafayette.travel 337.232.3737 800.346.1958 E I've gotten hundreds of colorful PostIt® notes from Dr. Ray Authement since I began working at UL Lafayette in 1993. He attaches them to magazines he receives from other universities and forwards to me. I took the first few dozen for granted; they all looked alike. One day, I noticed a PostIt® note that was different. Instead of “FYI,” he had written something like, “Page 20. Article is well done.” Of course, I immediately flipped to that page and studied it. EDITOR’S NOT It took quite a few more “FYIs” and a couple more “See inside” messages to grasp what should have been obvious to me from the start: He apparently looks through all of the magazines before sending them along. I was amazed because of his already heavy workload. I’ve thought about those PostIt® notes a lot since Doc announced in late April that he plans to retire. It occurred to me that they reveal quite a bit about him and how he conducts busi- ness at the university.
