President’s Message s we move into Fall, the Book Club, the Hiking Group and the Bridge Group are all getting together. Steve Brannan and Cris Paschild, the University Archivist, are continuing to work on RAPS history. They are launching a new website to hold many unique records of PSU, including the “Past Tense” articles that have appeared in the RAPS Sheet. Steve and Cris are also moving ahead on recording oral interviews of PSU faculty and staff. Brian Lewis is chair of the Membership Committee and will be encouraging retired faculty and staff to stay involved with PSU. RAPS helps us keep our contacts and friendships intact as time passes. I think it is a privilege to grow older, but it does have its drawbacks and we all have friends and colleagues who face health issues. The importance of an organization like RAPS is so clear to me. Many thanks to Brian and his committee for enabling us to stay connected with our friends at PSU. I am looking forward to the October meeting with Christina Nicolaidis and hope to see you all there. --Priscilla Blumel Barbara Alberty Chosen As a 2014 Woman of Distinction arbara Alberty was honored September 17 at the 2014 Marie Lanfrom Women of Distinction Luncheon for her commitment to the community and her work with the Girl Scouts of Oregon and SW Washington.
