University High School Class of 1980 Reunion

Kathty Comfort Employer: University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Occupation: Assistant Professor of French My goal in life is to civilize business students, especially the ones who don't see why they have to study a second language and who think the humanities are a waste of time. One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is being able to find something about French civilization and language that will interest the most difficult student. Vive la France! Marital Status: Single Education and Degrees: Ph.D. (French Language and Literature), University of Kansas Address: 2273 N. Mockingbird Lane, Fayetteville, AR 72703 Phone with area code: (479) 973-0987 E-mail:kcomfort@uark.edu Visit my own webpage: http://comp.uark.edu/~kcomfort Hobbies and Interests: Hiking, walking my dogs, visiting France, reading. I am a total ebay addict. This year I plan to do all my Christmas shopping there. Of course, I can stop any time...   Basque Country, my favorite region of France. If anyone wants to find wonderful, inexpensive, independently-owned hotels in France, let me know. There is so much to see outside Paris--the real France is not to be found in the big cities! Many more photos of France are posted on my web page. Click here. My dogs were both "adopted" from a no-kill shelter here in Fayetteville. It's sort of been my crusade to get people to adopt abandoned animals instead of going to a petstore or a breeder. It's disgusting that we in Arkansas failed to make animal cruelty a felony in the election last week. Great Achievements: Never losing faith that I would find my dream job. Wors of Wisdom: Avoid negativity! With a positive attitude and perseverance you can do anything.   Favorite memory or song from your days at U High: Marching band and concert band practice.     My dogs (Tori the Dalmatian and Alphie the Basenji mix) Click here for more pictures of my dogs.  The end of the year party of the French Section at UA. No, we weren't drinking Coors light.   The reliquary of Saint Sarah, the patron Saint of Gypsies (taken during the annual pilgrimage to Saintes-Maries-de-la-mer, France)
