I admire your enthusiasm and committment to M.V.S.U.

Be blessed and Long Live The Valley! Dr. Oliver,

I must also commend you on not catering to low standards and setting the bar higher and expecting each and everyone involved with this university to rise to the occasion. I applaud you and ecourage you to lead the way by example and with integrity. There is certainly a progressive atmosphere on campus. There will be oppposition. There will be setbacks. Stay the course, hang in there, and fight the good fight. The future of many generations depends heavily upon what you do now with this golden opportunity that GOD has provided. Tis is the season of overflow for The Valley. Your light is shining and you are full of life in a dark and near dead place. Revitalization of the Valley and the Mississippi Delta is not impossible. It can be done. We are going to force the establishment to recognize that we are a political, social, and economic force to be reckoned with. Thank you and continue to mobilize the stagnated.

]]> Comment on Valley Mourns the Loss of Dr. Joe Boyer by John "John-Boy" Branson, III http://mvsupresident.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/valley-mourns-the-loss-of-dr-joe-boyer/#comment-257 John "John-Boy" Branson, III Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:09:30 +0000 http://mvsupresident.wordpress.com/?p=410#comment-257 I was saddened to hear of the death of Dr. Boyer. I think back to my college days when I was editor-in-chief of the Delvian Gazette, the student newspaper, during the 1982-83 school year. Dr. Boyer and I clashed a many day over my views, especially when there was talk that the Mississippi State Legislature was going to close MVSU upon the recommendation of the State College Board. I can fondly recall being summoned and taken to task by Dr. Boyer for my outspoken views on what role he should take in keeping The Valley open. This stormy meeting was after I wrote a letter to The Greenwood Commonwealth that was printed. Yes there were good times as well. I respected him and admired him. He was not only one of my nemesis, but he was also my friend. My condolences to Lori, Kevin and Kelli. I was saddened to hear of the death of Dr. Boyer.
