Whew! These past few weeks have been a real whirlwind for our little Roebuck crew. All fun stuff, but just LOTS of stuff!
Saturday night we had a fun night of celebrating the retirement of Professor Gary Warner. Some of you may not know that Lucas and I were both journalism majors at JBU, although not at the same time (He graduated 5 years ahead of me). So even though we weren't at school at the same time, we had the shared experience of learning to write from Gary Warner. And let me assure you, that is an experience! Those of you who have taken News Writing I from Gary Warner know of what I speak. :-)
Anyway... Saturday night we attended a surprise retirement celebration for Gary Warner at Emelia's in downtown Siloam Springs. It was a fun night to reconnect with journalism alumni who had flown in from all over the country and honor our former professor. And the food was DELICIOUS. Lucas had a lot of the responsibility for planning the evening, and the program and the whole night really could not have gone any better. He did such a fantastic job!
Here are a few pics of our fun evening:

Lucas was the emcee for the event.
Professor Warner has been heading up the journalism program at JBU for 17 years. That means that there have been about 17 student editors of the JBU paper. 12 of those former editors were in attendance Saturday night- they flew/drove in from all over the country!

And I've been too busy to thank you for posting the photos! They're great. What a lovely event! The years don't really pass for Mr. Mayer and Mr. Warner!
hey busy lady! :) I was wanting to call you but I didn't have your number... I didn't know if you had decided anything about being my photographer. If you cannot do it do not worry about it. I just wanted to check in with you. My laptop just stopped working and I'm not by a computer very often. My number is 549-7331 and that's the best way to get ahold of me. Thanks! love you!
