What is your favorite memory from your time at Trinity?
We loved studying together in the Great Hall of Chapman Graduate Center. It was usually empty except for us, and it was easy to imagine sitting in the great room of a large country house. Walks on and near campus were also relaxing and a pleasant study break, whether it was by the reflecting pool, or at the nearby Sunken Gardens at Brackenridge Park, or just walking back to our dorms and smelling the honeysuckle.
What was your favorite teacher/class at Trinity?
Kay especially enjoyed urban studies classes with Woody Sanders, Cathy Powell, and Char Miller. We both took and, like everyone, loved music appreciation with music professor Albert Herff-Beze. As a history major, Geary's favorite teacher and mentor was history professor Roger B. McShane who taught all things ancient.

How did you get involved in your area of career expertise?
Geary took stock of personal likes and dislikes, and researched various career options while serving in the U.S. Army.

If you were reincarnated as some other plant or animal, what would it be and why?
For Kay, it's an olive tree – for its beauty, endurance, and ability to produce something useful (and delicious) even in times of adversity. Geary would like to return as a dog, an animal that is loyal, expresses love freely and sincerely, and appreciates the simple pleasures of life.
