But as much as I learned in the excellent classes, some of my most valuable lessons came from Bettie Mallette, manager of Littlepage Dining Hall. I've earned an MBA and taken extra graduate work, but Bettie was the best teacher I ever had. She told her student supervisors to surround themselves with good people and use good common sense. She taught us to do the right thing at all times. On campus for Reunion '98, Karl and his friends invited their former Littlepage boss to a Fallbrook luncheon.
