Copper Dome Dinner. Three of the Alumni Merit Award Recipients who have Charleston ties; Smith Deline, me and Larry Ferrell (Bartley Ferrell's son). He lived in Charleston until he was in the 8th grade. Worked with the prosecutor's in the trial of Saddam Hussein.Bill and Shirley Virdon came to the breakfast. Longtime friends--he was manager of the Astros. Live in Springfield.
So I lived through the weekend --went to the dinner on Friday night, did the breakfast this morning and rode in the parade with the former Alumni Presidents -- Mike parker, Mike Richey, Joan Gohn and I --had a great time! But I was cold! It was okay after the Parade started--sun was fine. Dobbins had to pass by me so he had to speak. Shad Burner, the new alumni director, made a few mistakes but they will survive.

After the Parade Joan and I went to drive-in (Sonic) to get a sandwich and then we decided that we would forego the game. Too cold and you could watch it (as I did) on the Webcast. I was really frozen. Thought I would turn on the fireplace but it did not work. Called Gene.
Glad I did all of this. It did not make me sad at all. Made me happy to see everyone and they acted like they were delighted to see me..
