LJ Stagg was oriented into the UNC - Asheville community in mid-June.

Day One included dispensation of vital info, purchasing 'Bulldog' t-shirts, and free lunch consisting of

caviar, lobster Newburg, smoked salmon, and grits in the dining commons on the upscale campus.

Day Two had the newbie’s registering for courses.

Logan has declared his major already,

signing up for 10 credit hours of wood carving and whittling in the first semester.

A special session devoted two hours to learning the digital laundry system,

which shows which machines are available, folds and irons each load for the student,

then sends an email or text message when it's all done.

The freshmen learned how to dump their laundry into the machines, add soap, and push the start button.

In the afternoon we went to Asheville Municipal Golf course to meditate

and absorb all the info utilizing golf therapy.

The peaceful campus is an oasis in middle of redneck central.

Wander too far from Asheville and you may need to show your NRA membership card.

Logan's ace in the hole is having two great-great-grandfathers who served in the CSA.

All in all, The University of North Carolina – Asheville offers a world of opportunity

where Logan will be stylishly immersed in academia.

Classes begin August 17.     JPM
