I had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Ruth Westheimer in December 2000.  She came to speak at North Central Michigan College when I was Director of their lecture series.  She was a huge hit with the crowd that came.  She and I became friends in a short period of time.  Six months later, I was ask to be a contributor to her book, Dr. Ruth's Guide to College Life.  Check it out at your local bookstore
