Blog #36: Mike Acuna - RIP

First, to start out this blog, I have to say Rest In Peace Mike Acuna.  Mike was with us when we started Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. at the University of Texas at Austin, and was our Faculty Advisor from day one until the time he passed away.  He will dearly be missed by us and his family.  Tomorrow will be his burial and along with that, our letters will be with him in the casket.

Thank you to Diane and Julissa for going to his viewing and sharing what his family told you two.

Thank you Mike for always being there for us when we needed you - we will be forever thankful for all your encouraging words.  I would always remember our last minute room reservations...how I would hurry up and scurry into your office since you had the "authority" to book rooms faster than any of us could.  Your office was always so serene, with a lot of great historic pictures, and of course statues and figurines of Don Quixote, your favorite literary novel of all time.

You were a great traveler, a student of life, and a believer in humanity and our capability to love...

and for that, thank you.  I will miss you and the random Facebook messages.
