- It’s the Friday before Turkey Day! We love Thanksgiving and are very excited to be having a house full of family for our first holiday feast in San Diego. We are discovering that relatives and friends can find you quickly when you move to such a gorgeous part of the country. We will enjoy each other and our family traditions while giving thanks for so many things. Like many families, we have the corny pre-meal tradition of going around the table giving each person the opportunity to note things for which they are particularly thankful. High on my list will be sincere gratitude for friends and colleagues at National University. Thank you for openly and graciously welcoming Marti and I to San Diego and into the NU family. More importantly, thanks for all that you do for National and for your community. Have a great Turkey Day!
