What a great opportunity — to reflect on my own peak experiences at CC. Thanks for making the site available.

 Maybe the first “peak experience,” as you call it was discovering that I could be a lime tree!  Yep, tryouts for a play my first week at CC — “show me a lime tree.”  That should have been a signal that I was in for an experience unlike anything that had come before.  In fact it was the first of hundreds, maybe thousands of opportunities I had to think, imagine, learn, communicate, and finally perform in different ways in all areas - not just on a stage.  

Just as for many others, my CC experience transformed me.  A fact that has become more clear to me with every passing year.  Every success I’ve had can probably be traced back in one way or another to what was demanded of me and offered to me as a student of CC.

By the way, it’s been amazing to watch the new arts center go up.  I’m just a LITTLE jealous of the students who will get to use it.Â

I drove sightseeing trips during my years at CC. I have logged about 1000 trips up and down that mountain. A great mountain but I don’t think I’ll do it Again! Well maybe on the cog railway!
