anyone basement basic class department energy english hall hard high highest hole journalism leave level northwest pitch remember remembered school taught teach time worked
One thing I remember most vividly about Opal Eckert is that she could teach any kind of class - from the most basic high school English composition class to the highest level journalism class at the university. The Journalism Department at Northwest was in the basement of Colden Hall at the time she taught there. I remember that she was always there. She had more energy - give her something to do and she would just pitch right in and do it. She was unfailingly courteous, nice, businesslike and she always remembered names. She will leave a real hole in the world of journalism in northwest Missouri. I don't know anyone who has worked as hard or contributed as much as Opal Eckert.

taken naughty thinking
One slightly naughty thing I was thinking as I was watching the MTV thing, is how many people it took to replace me, and how few people it's taken me to replace them.
want band interest
I've never actually seen a tribute band. I can't really get a hold of the concept. To me, it's old material. I have no interest in it. I want to see what's coming now.
writing doors people
People ask, `What was it like when you wrote Stairway to Heaven?' As if three wisemen had come knocking on the door, `Excuse me, are you writing Stairway to Heaven here?'

I may sink, but I'll be damned if I strike!

It is true that I must run a great risk; no gallant action was ever accomplished without danger.
