Cambria in one word: Enthusiastic

A favorite college memory: We were trying to start the year by reminding people to quiet down during programs in the church. So I got up front at Friday night worship dressed as a mafia boss and called up 20 of our biggest guys from Grainger Hall (including Dean Qualley) to help handle a "heckler" we'd planted in the audience.
My time at PUC has taught me: Don't be afraid to ask the hard questions.
