Me circa 1992   Hello, welcome to my first official internet website - RavensKeep!

    This site has been created for the sole purpose of fulfilling a requirement in one of my college classes, so don't expect too much.  That being said, I've found that learning the basics of web design has been very interesting, despite the many frustrations involved.
   
    Since this will be my last term as an undergrad I would like to throw out a couple of names to thank.  Interestingly enough, the instructors who required me to write in-depth analytical papers are those who I came to value the most.  With that in mind it should be noted that the WRT 305 class, which I was required to take, was worthless.  Thank you for wasting my time and money!
    To those I am truly thankful for, however, let us start with:
  • Professor Kelleher - From the History Dept, who was able to nurture my writing talents past their infancy stage and introduced me to the magnificent works of Achebe and Wiesel.  
  • Professor Crouthamel -  With the History Dept as well, who introduced me to Kovaly.
  • Professors Diven and Constantelos - In the Political Science Dept.  The first for developing  and broadening my understanding of the field of international relations, and the second for teaching a great International Relations capstone course.
  • Professor Mekik - In the Geology Dept.  She was able to remind me how much fun science really is.  Almost convinced me to declare a geology minor... than I realized I'd be stuck in school for at least another year and taking four science classes a term at that!!!  Still wouldn't mind taking that Plate Tectonics class, or the Oceanography class, or ...    
  • Professor Soljan - From the English Dept, who was not only of invaluable assistance in regards to my grammar problems but also did a fantastic job of introducing me to such classics as Beowulf and the works of  John Donne.
  • Professor Corbetta  - Also with the Political Science Dept.  His paper requirements not only gave me great insight into a specific event, but also greatly broadened my appreciation for  historical journals in general, and the JSTOR® database in particular.
    Thank you all!
 for it is each of you that have made my collegiate experience worthwhile!   
 
    As for the administration at Grand Valley, well, let's just say... I've made it despite all crap you've given me!  Thanks anyway!

  Having said my spiel, please enjoy this tiny little website as much as you wish.
