By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Feb. 17,2008 8:57 p.m.

A never-ending story

Even though professor Scott Sanders calls teaching his “deepest pleasure,” he said it’s time to begin a new chapter: retirement. In 2009, Sanders will end his career as an English professor, but his students will always remember his warm and charming personality. “Scott is very approachable and personable,” said Chad Anderson, a graduate student in one of Sanders’ classes. “I never feel like I really have to impress him in everything that I say and everything that I do.”
