Funded ProjectsLetter from Chris’ Professor, Paul Edwards

July 23, 2015

Paul Edwards LetterTo the Mikesell Family,

I took it as a sign when the annual report and solicitation came from your Foundation at about the same time I found the two enclosed photos of Chris when he accompanied our group to England.

It was a great time and Chris was one of the funniest, warmest students I ever had the pleasure of knowing.

As a parent, I can’t tell you how much it means to see how you’ve kept Chris’ spirit alive.

Enclosed is a small contribution to the Foundation. Let me know if there’s anything additional I can do for you.

Sincerely,

Paul Edwards
Professor of Communication Arts
WSCU

Professor Edwards was one of Chris’ favorite instructors during his time at Western.
