James V. Ganley, D.P.M. In Memory of James V. Ganley, D.P.M. 1930-1992 When Dr. Ganley was a freshman a Vi 11anova, H was aking a very tough cemistry course. It made him question his decision to take pre-med. He was thinking about whether he should change his major, switch colleges, etc. He was disheartened to the point that he walked with his head hanging. As he approached 4th Street in Bridgeport, he found a piece of paper on the sidewalk. It was the following poem, Don't Quit , became his motto. He shared this with his children and many others when they were discouraged. Don't Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When the funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When care s Rest if you must-but just don't quit Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us learns. And many a failure turns about, when he might have won if he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tent of the clouds of doubt. You never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit but -Its when things seem worst that you must not quit. The above text was donated by Dr. and Mrs. K. Mahan
