A personal journal about teaching the Bible and ancient Near Eastern history/theology/religion/archaeology to university students in New Orleans, and whatever else happens to be on my mind.

Gambit's New Orleanian of the Year
Xavier's president and head of the LRA Norman Francis is the New Orleanian of the year 2007 according to the Gambit. Personally, I can't think of anyone who has done more for the recovery of New Orleans.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who actually thinks my boss is a good person and a good leader, if a little top-down at times. I've heard people criticize the LRA, but never the job he's done with it. A ton of integrity, considering I'm sure he'd be in the running for a lot of jobs that would pay a hell of a lot more than the one he has! Most of my friends at other universities think it's pretty weird that I talk admiringly of an administrator.

it seems to me this city just needs good leaders to get us out of this and into the growth.
we can stay what we are or we can grow and keep what is good about us.
we need leaders .
dr. norman is one of the cats fitting the bill.
