Welcome!

Congratulations! You have found the Habershons.com family website, started in December 2001. All Habershons and non-Habershons are welcome to wander around. Stick a pin in the Guest Map; leave a message in the Message Book; and if you're a Habershon, please let us know you were here so we can list you in our Branch Office. And if you are looking for stuff on Bikram Yoga or Mini Coopers, click on the pictures in the left-hand column.

We also encourage you to register. This takes less than a minute and will allow you to view and leave comments, chat in the chat box at left, and look at the photograph albums. And if you're logged in you'll never see this annoying message again.

Thank you for coming by!

Catherine Athearn (née Habershon)

Okay, I know he's not a Habershon, but he spends a lot of time around Habershons. And, let's face it, it's already February 10th and not a single Habershon has e-mailed me with a suggestion for the Habershon of the Month award. So it's going to John.

John's diploma arrived in the mail today. Click here to read it. It's been sixteen . . . (count'em) . . . sixteen years since he got his first university credit. A high school dropout, and deciding he didn't want to dig ditches for the rest of his life, he enrolled in 1986 at Cabrillo Junior College near Santa Cruz, California. After that he attended Santa Maria Community College, California, followed by the Texas International Education Consortium campus in Shah Alam, Malaysia, then the University of Houston, the University of Texas at Austin, and, finally, back to the University of Houston.

He graduated cum laude with a degree in History (minor in Political Science) and a GPA of 3.41.

He's been working hard on his website, http://www.geopolitics.tv, but did turn around from his computer to give a brief statement and a photo opportunity:

I almost got out of university without ever seriously studying the most important questions of what one should and ought to do, and the best source of what these questions are -- Plato's "Republic" and Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics." My single best professor, Dr. Terry Hallmark, made sure I graduated with more than just a piece of paper -- an actual education. Thank you, Terry.
