The past always seems better

I just read a funny line about how many old domers it takes to change a lightbulb. Three: One to screw it in and two to discuss how much better the old one was.

I lived in the Zoo from 1969 to 1973. My first pep rally was in the old field house. Pat O Brien (the actor not the clown now on tv) and Rocky Blier (just back from Vietnam) They brought the house down. Dirt floor human pymarids and ambulances waiting outide. Freshman in tears. The following day it was raining at kickoff. Crowd starts chanting Ara stop the rain. Look it up, the sun came out? It cannot get better than that but you should try and a start would be a move to Stepan. When we moved to Stepan we were disappointed because it could not replace the old field house!

Go Irish!
