<strong>Ding, dong, done</strong>. There's a tradition at the University of Tulsa: After a senior completes the last final exam of his or her career at TU, it's time to head to Bayless Plaza to ring the Kendall Bell. It's something students have been doing for more than half a century, ever since the bell was the crowning feature of Kendall Hall, a five-story climb from the ground below. 

Last night, my husband — a veteran who'd been overseas twice and was among the first troops on the ground in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, all before he was old enough to rent a car here in the states — rang that bell. And you'd better believe that he made that sucker sing.
