Spring is on the way -- but did we have winter?

Now that we are approaching the half-way point of March, and we have switched over to daylight savings time just last night, we can look forward to spring.  Already we have had some very nice spring like weather even though today it is rainy and cloudy and foggy.  Of course it seems like winter just slipped by this year.  We had very little snow, just two or three small ones that hardly even covered the ground.  And in general temperatures were not that cold this winter.  But, I think most of us are grateful for that.

Work on the roofs around here has continued most of the winter and will continue well into the summer.  The roofs on the Health Care Center, part of St. Raphael Hall, the garage and maintenance building have all been replaced.  Now they are starting on St. Michael Hall which was also damaged during the hail storm last August.

The students have been gone since last Thursday.  We do not give a spring break but always give the students off all of Easter Week.  Since that is still a few weeks off we gave them a long off campus weekend this weekend.  They should be arriving back tonight.
