(WR) (CLP)

Some of you are aware that my wife, Sharon Wyrrick, was involved in a serious automobile accident last week. She is in stable condition, and has been moved to a rehabilitation facility. Thanks to those of you who have offered your concerns and assistance. The best way that all of you can help is to be the most diligent and imaginative students you can be, so that there are no unnecessary distractions from our work together. I will probably not be available for most of my office hours; the most direct way to communicate with me is through email.
