Dr. Deborah Dalton, associate professor of voice at Ģ����Ƶ, believes the voice students can and will rise to the challenge.

When Sharron and Roy Alston came to Nacogdoches in 1968, the azaleas and the dogwoods were in bloom, and Roy, a doctorate in math in need of a job, was offered a position in the Ģ����Ƶ math department. All of it was just too much to turn down.

Goodbye, Lubbock. Hello, East Texas.

Four decades later, in 2008, Roy retired. He and Sharron, the parents of two sons, live out on four acres north of town. Life is good. But it's also catching up with them. What used to be easy isn't easy anymore, especially when it comes to keeping up with a big piece of land.
