Although I was his junior, whenever we had a chance we would solve many of the world's problems. He was such a gentleman. So sorry to hear.

Seaton Family - I am so sorry to hear about Professor Seaton. I just met him this past summer while taking his class. He always said if we won the lottery to come to him and he would help us make a plan for the money - lottery or not, I think he knew what he was talking about, so I made a plan to take him up on that offer in the future ;). He was so knowledgeable and helpful - the university has sure lost a great educator. I will be thinking of you all,
