Dean's Message
How serendipitous that earth’s orbital location is neither too close nor too far from the sun. This fortuitous celestial arrangement made it possible for life to originate, evolve, diversify, and prosper on this planet. How blessed is human species that it appeared on the scene after a full tapestry of foods, flowers and fruits had come to occupy the earth-stage.
How grateful each day we must be that earth is our home and how mindful we must remain that we share this spaceship with myriad other life forms that predate our own arrival.
