In between the two reunion years, when the sisters sold the property and had a "Holy Names Homecoming" for all of the alums, only about seven or eight women from my class came (that's out of about 66). Most of them seemed like really pleasant strangers; a few, my old crowd members, seemed more familiar, but we'd all changed so much and hadn't kept in touch, so it was fun catching up, but then. . .

Of course, as a freshman, I was pretty oblivious -- but certainly the approaches Hayes taught accounted for some of my initial confusion as a grad student learning about writing and process. In class, he never missed an opportunity to bash Skinnerians. Flower wasn’t actually my teacher, but it was her writing program.
