Meloche is hoping they find the time before Troxel, who has his sights set on a job in the National Security Agency, heads to his job at the Barnes and Noble store in Annapolis.

NEVER FORGET
One of the most moving experiences of Adam Barner's college career was Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel's visit to campus in April of 2005. “It was really important for people to get the perspective of a Holocaust survivor who is such an advocate for peace.
