What the Dickens is Happening ...
(Spring 2005)
There is little doubt that when in 1859 Charles Dickens penned one of the most dramatic and touching love stories to be found in all literature, A Tale of Two Cities, his thoughts were not about continuing education. However, change the tense and the words have a familiar, if not ironic, ring.
On Being an Adult Student at Kutztown University

My husband was one of these ex-soldiers now looking to provide for his growing family. And growing it was! I remember dancing rather awkwardly and cautiously that night as I was just a couple weeks short of delivering our second child, Joseph.
