Pacific Portraits Jim Flory

There's a saying that if you build a fire on a hill, all sorts of interesting people will climb that hill to meet you, to hear your story or to tell one, or both. In these pages, the students brought the fire to a variety of locations on and off campus to meet interesting characters, staff some of us see on a daily basis but hardly know a thing about. We invite you to peer into these fires, once again, and gaze at the vivid lives of members of our Pacific community to hear a good story, and perhaps, inspire your own.
