Back to ISU

Mom and Cindy came up for the weekend and gave me and Andy the opportunity to drive to ISU where our friend, Jeff, was being inducted into the Vidette Hall of Fame. After a crazy windy drive that knocked more than a few vehicles off the interstate, we were back at ISU!

We drove around a little bit to see what's changed and were surprised to find a parking space in the lot at Pub II. That's were we met up with Jeff and his wife and our friend Kathy for a beer and some cheeseballs (of course) before heading to the dinner and ceremony.

Andy and I nominated Jeff for the award and here's Andy introducing him.

Jeff gave a speech and then posed for pictures with Andy and the Vidette manager with his award. Below is a picture of me and Kathy, now and in 1988 at the Vidette's centennial celebration. We've hardly changed, right?

After the ceremony, we all walked over to the Vidette to have a look around. Kathy and I were surprised to see how clean it was. When we were at the Vidette, we were in a building that was a "temporary" coal shed from the World War II era. The current building, which we all consider new still, was constructed in the early 1990s I think.

Andy and Jeff couldn't resist looking through the various universities' newspapers that were set out on the table. Andy and I drove back and got home around 11:30 p.m.
