The President's Office
thanked all those who volunteered their time to help
the Hurricane Rita
evacuees Wednesday
morning with an appreciation luncheon. Along with an
Italian lunch, students, administrators, faculty and
staff watched a video and photo montage of the four
days the evacuees were on campus, and several speakers,
including Keith Jenkins, Frank Parker, John Yarabeck,
Rosanne Keathley and State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst shared
personal memories of the experience, as well as thanked
all those who participated. "I thought I knew
you. I love Huntsville; I love Sam Houston," Kolkhorst
said, adding that she wears orange as proudly as she
would
if she had actually attended SHSU. "I knew you
were good. I just didn't know you were this good."

evacuees needed in order to stay at SHSU as part of
her "Remembrances of Rita" speech at the luncheon.
