A few words about the Alumni Advisory Board (AAB) . . . few words should be needed. There are no elected or appointed members. Anyone can contribute to this board, and anything that the editor allows will be published. Does the AAB exist independently of this forum? A profound question, perhaps akin to the old saw about one hand clapping.
The sound of the AAB remains to be heard. It is not expected that the alumni of the UWB will find any useful advice here. The purpose of the AAB is not to advise the the alumni. On the contrary! The purpose is to set out those questions, narratives, pleas, complaints, mea culpas and such like items that the AAB may collect from its contributors wafting though the electronic ether of cyberspace. With luck, some wiser soul will take note and write in with practical advice for impractical problems, wisdom for repairing foolish mistakes, powerful words for the weak, divinity for the damned, faith for the skeptical, skepticism for the gullible, or some other words worth hearing.
Failing that, perhaps the AAB will tell a story or two.
