Beth Hutchens

One of the finest ladies I know is retiring from the Department of Communications at Wake Forest University -- Beth Hutchens. As many of you know, her husband was a Winston Salem Policeman who was killed in the line of duty last Fall. It has been tough on Beth and her two daughters and she feels she has to devote time the the Foundation she set up in Mickey's name. So we are losing her. Melissa Painter is putting together a book of letters for Beth from friends, former and current students. Melissa writes:

Beth Hutchens is retiring as the administrative coordinator from the Department of Communication at Wake Forest University. I'm sure many of you remember Beth and how she helped you squeeze into a class or gave you a recommedation on a professor. For some, she became a good friend. I'd like to put together a book of letters to share with Beth to let her know how much she has meant to students over the years. I need your help to do it. You can write a quick paragraph about the first time you met Beth, how she helped you as a student, share a funny story-- anything you'd like. You may e-mail the letter to me or mail it to me at

I need these notes by next week, April 5.
Thanks for your help. It will mean a lot to Beth!
Best,

Please if you know Beth or have been touched by Beth please send a message to Melissa. I also ask that you send it out to anyone else you might know of who would like to contribute a letter. We are trying to keep this a secret from Beth.

Thank you.
