More Randomness of the Alumni Reunion Weekend Now Improved With Photos!

• Here's our 2015 Champions (2-Under)! Curt Allison, Brian Boyer and Bill Whittaker make it into our Hall of Honor with their second appearances on the Coach Harry Groves Cup!  Todd Kletter makes his first appearance, but that does garner him immortality on the Trophy of Trophies.

• Here's my dog Pooky (named after my bestest-ever dog Pookie) near the summit of Mount Nittany, posing with a Lady Slipper wildflower. A certain red-headed ex-PSU football coach was there to greet them with his dog!

•  Jim McClelland took great pictures of the gang at just about every venue.  Here's a artsy couple of shots from the Alumni "Run" with Beaver Stadium in the background.  I had to explain to Jim that we already had a Jim Clelland in the group, so I'm glad he added the Mc so we didn't have to! We're way too confused already.

Coach Groves spins some yarns.

Clark Haley, Hugh Hamill, Charlie Hull and Bob Hudson.

•  The first 4 attendees to the Alumni "Run" all had Alumni Singlets and tees!  Next up we are going to do jackets!  Plans are under way.  Hugh's shirt still had the tag on it!

Greg Fredericks, skwilli, Jake Bartholomy and Hugh Hamill.

•  Mike McClelland, high jumper for PSU out because of a (freak) injury golfed with his dad and snagged the Golden Putter on the 18th green.  Holder of the Golden Putter Greg Fredericks was there to measure the effort at more than 10 feet.  Congrats Mike.

•  The Fuller Clan with the Fuller Harem actually stretched before the Alumni "Run" and then did honest-to-goodness Intervals under the watchful eye of Coach Groves afterward!  (3 up, 4 x 400, 3 down)

• The Awards Dinner went off almost without a hitch.  Prizes were awarded following a meal of ribs, grilled chicken, a really good salad and scalloped potatoes at the new LettermanS.  Make sure to thank Clark Haley for all the work he did by himself this year to arrange everything.

• Absolutely NO ONE could convince Larry Mangan to take more than* a lap for the Alumni "Run. ".  Larry was subsequently appointed a Co-Administrator of the Blog with it all! It's sorta like being runner up at the Miss America Pageant.  (In the event that the Leader can no longer fulfill his duties...) Larry's lap was timed between :47 and :48 and occurred exactly on the 35th anniversary of his very first sub-4 run!

*errors of fact are a feature of the blog, not a detriment.  They involve many people who are busy checking them and trying to correct them.  And besides, they drive certain people up the wall where they belong!
