about hokie 94

I am a retired school administrator.   I obtained my doctorate in school administration from Virginia Tech in 94.   Blood, sweat, tears, and divorce.  But, it was worth it all.  GO HOKIES!

I truly believe that if we had more love in this world; then, we could do great things for all people.  I have read books and articles about most of the greatest philosophers of all-time during my college and university days.  I still read about them today. These philosophers, and their thoughts have something to say about love, living, forgiving, health, wealth, friendship, nurturing, sin, and how this world will live and die. 

The stuff that they have written is so true today.  Just look at the state our our Country and the World today; my friends.

There are too many people today that spend too much time concentrating on materialistic things.  We are trying to have too much without teaching values of the younger generation.  

Just work on trying to have better health and more friends.  If you have a child; then raise the child.  Don't expect somone else or the schools to do your job.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their rear when necessary, and learn to say NO!!!!

I'm a music lover.  Music makes me feel good, sad, and it brings me to the past and sometimes makes me humble.  It affects my mood.  It makes me remember people in my life; both past and present.  Music is the greatest language of the world.  

VOTE.  If you don't vote, then you have no right to criticize anything pertaining to the democratic process. 

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH  LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Everyday; I think this: Health, Happiness, Success, and Wealth.  Wealth does not always equate to money. Having good health is worth more than all the money in the world.

I now reside in Moore County, NC.  A great place to live.

Thanks for your comment out on the 'Escapee killed' story. It's great to see that there are GOLO folks that are kind.

"TBK. I recall only a few weeks ago that you were a State fan. This was the topic regarding the VT and State game. What are you saying now? Go figure."

I'm still a State fan. But the team blows. They've been a huge disappointment this year. Admitting the truth doesn't make me any less of a fan, just an honest one. :(

Hi, I read your comments on the teacher who was killed. I live in Hoke and went to school with both of them, though I didn't know them well. What an awful tragedy.

sorry I spelled hokie wrong! jack

Regarding the article on kimberly rollick depleting her mother-in-laws account...I am her daughter. Thank you for the only positive post on this story. However who are you to judge that "greed consumed her thoughts and feelings". You need to go read my comment. thank you.

Thanks Hokie, I have seen ridiculous but - that was over the line. It is difficult to get people or a population to do something together period. Now the citizens kick in and you have something so crazy such as the cosmetically correct crowd to throw a wrench in the works. I don't live in Raleigh or the surrounding, I live outside of any town about 75+ miles east. I don't understand how a small group can dictate what took the local goverment ( seemed like forever ) to decide. I guess when you can't say anything else without being brash...... just say - hey - hey....... Thanks again friend.

Welcome to golo, hokie! I like all kinds of music, the old and new country. Yes, I even like beach music :)

Thanks for the flowers ---- I don't comment that much anymore - just to say good morning to my cyber neighbors. Every once in a while something will get under my skin a bit. We use to have a good time - when we had to comment on the articles before all of the profile stuff started. It is not all bad - there are just a bunch of bad ones out there. Glad to have you as a friend. We all keep in touch - if nothing else than to say good morning.

Hokie, I have been on this thing for a while....... It is not the writing - just the friends. We correspond usually on a daily basis just to check on each other - or usually email. I have met some really cool people over golo and if you have read the featured profiles that golo has done, I think all of them are good friends, whether cyber or personal.

Hey Hokie! Texas is big so as far as "hotspots" that would depend on where it is you are planning to visit. I was born/raised in Texas City. It is on the coast near Galveston and south of Houston.

If you were going to my neck of the woods, I would say you have to go to The Strand in Galveston. It looks like it did in the early 1800's and offers quaint little shops for shopping. Another favorite is the boardwalk in Kemah, lots of great restuarants and live bands to listen to while strolling.
