-: I had undergraduate degrees in English and Biology,
but I got my Master's in Forestry.
And I would tell students Dendrology is everything.
You will always use it.
It is a life skill.
Take Dendro because
I use it all the time.
I use it with planters, I use it with the engineers.
"But you can't do that, this is such-and-such a tree."
So for me, learning some of the forestry stuff
was important, but also there were certain things
about my experience at Tech that taught me other things.
For instance, John Hausner was head of the
Forestry School when I was here.
12:00, John walked down the hall with his gym bag
and he went out to run.
And as he went, he would say,
"You going out to run?
"You going out to the swim?
"You going to the gym?"
He encouraged all of his staff to exercise at lunch time
and consequently, a lot of them did who might not otherwise.
But it was a certain discipline
and I think it's important to learn
to have exercise in your life to maintain your own health,
but also to have the discipline.
