Good morning colleagues, friends, partners, and families both logical and biological. Thank you for being with us today, and for being present and supportive during this exciting season of transition. 

We enter a campus building none of us has ever been in, slipping in as someone else exits.

We intentionally take our most frequent paths, and we describe how they feel to us and what we have seen there.

We intentionally go somewhere most of us have never been, only to find that it’s an old haunt for one member of our group.

We observe that we feel very much on campus. A block later, very much off.

The National Park Service’s (NPS) centennial has come and passed.
