Meet the Rahes
Just got back from a wonderful dinner with Paul Rahe and family. Food was great, the family was just what you'd expect: bright and lovely. Two boys and two girls and a lawyer for a bride -- lucky man.
I hadn't been off campus so was quite surprised to see the damage: huge fallen branches on almost every front lawn. I'm told this part of Michigan doesn't get the huge snows that others do (I went to school in Indiana just two hours or so from here, and we get a ton of snow). In any case what Paul does not know is that all of the students whom I've met here sing his praises -- the one who drove me from the airport, the ones I met from the paper, the ones I spoke with in the hallway this morning.
I know all institutions have their troubles, and it's easy to romanticize from the outside. Hillsdale, however, looks so beautiful and placid in the snow, and the students I meet really do seem to appreciate what they've got in profs like PAul.

Ricochetians appreciate what they have in a prof like Paul too.

Paul is, no doubt, one of the jems in the crown that is Hillsdale.
