Stuff and Memory
Assembly June 26, 10:30 a.m.
Speaker: Phil Duran
If we assume for the sake of argument none of us is likely to be the next Gandhi or Cleopatra and be remembered forever by history, we will nonetheless be remembered... but by whom, and by what means? Our homes today are full of tomorrow's family heirlooms - what might they say about us to those who come later? What, if anything, really lasts?

Staff Change
Membership Coordinator, Teresa West is moving on. She writes, Hello all! Some of you may recall that I started work at FUS four years ago as I went back to school for graphic design. That career change has now come full circle. I've started as a graphic designer at United Hospital, and have resigned my position here at FUS. It has been delightful to work with the existing members here, and a joy to welcome in new members to the society. I will remain on as a member at FUS. I will stay on with limited hours until a new person is hired and trained. Regards, Teresa
