segue into new topics. I've also been told that my sense
of humor is among my best qualities.

Testimonials and Comments for Graham
of time with him in France going to
flea markets. He has many unusual
interests and is totally fun to be
around.
profitable career as a female
impersonator if he ever decided to
leave academia. I've had the distinct
pleasure of knowing Graham since his
days at Allen Elementary School and
he's only gotten better with age.
Love Shack, Ethel Merman, Marlene
Dietrich (to name just a few) are my
favorites in Grahams vast collection
of personalities.
met who can use "troglodyte" in
context.
companion for everything from road
trips to antique shopping to studying
in coffee shops, Graham has been a
remarkable friend and brought
intellectual richness and endless fun
into my life. His warm personality
and dedication to others are a
treasure and an inspiration, and I
admire his both his taste in obscure
nineteenth-century German-American art
and the way his friendship has
challenged me to personal growth.
searsucker suits, his imitations of
Ethel Merman, and his sweet smile?
the main things I will miss about Yale,
in all of his many guises...
