Dear LaVonne


February 5, 2005

Dear LaVonne,

I'm writing this to say thank you for being one of my teachers, even years before we met in person. Thank you also for all your personal encouragement of my work over the past five years. The dissertation project is now being polished, and I look forward to moving on to learning more and sharing my knowledge as well.

I feel truly privileged to know you over email, lunch, and dinner and buying batteries for your palm pilot and your fiftieth watch. As part of the second generation of scholars you have mentored, I hope I will make you as proud as those American Indian scholars before me have done.

Fondly,
Susan Rose
