Just got back from visiting some universi...Hi Mike,<br />Just got back from visiting some universities with your mom and Maggie. What a great experience! Impressions:<br />1. Otto Graham went to Northwestern. Evanston is pretty affluent and Lake Michigan is beautiful. Chicago has a smell that we remember from our last trip. Maggie looks great in purple.<br />2. North Carolina is in the south, tobacco, plantations, southern drawls, outwardly slow paced, polite, ended our visit with hugs. Football stadium is in the middle of campus, sedate tailgating, 65,000 students & alums dressed in baby blue, some with their bare chests painted. Michael Jordan is an alum. Maggie looks great in baby blue.<br />3. North Carolina State has a lot of brick. The word is that a brick factory owning alum donates all of the brick with the stipulation that they use all of it. Crews were literally continually laying brick in sections as we were there. The main student quad is called the "Brick Yard" made famous by ESPN where celebrations were broadcast when the late great Jim Valvano coached the Wolf Pack to it's 1983 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. Maggie looks great in Red.<br /><br />Love,<br />DadEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964481982344449860noreply@blogger.com
