Note from the ACDIS Director
There and back again—a journey to San Antonio and the heart of CDI

By Brian Murphy

If you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings—the classic book by J.R.R. Tolkien, or the fine film adaptations of recent years—you might recognize its meaningful closing line.

Samwise Gamgee, the true hero of the story, returns home after a long and arduous journey that takes him to Mordor and the shining kingdoms of Gondor, and then back again to the Shire and his family. At the end of it all, he collects his family in his arms, takes a deep breath, and reflects on it all with a simple phrase:

Well, I’m back.
