Thanks for this Stan ,your commentary always enhances the experience for me.
"I know you have a lot going on WM so i guess i should show a little patience for "57".
I don't want to sound ungrateful but "come on for F++k sake and pull your finger out"!!!
Haha. '57 is shaping up to be a good year. I'm mining the images. Already up to about 30 images and I'm maybe half way through the book. Poor Stan has his work cut out.
My dad left his number, written on a Varsity napkin, on my mother's car at the Varsity, late 1962. The rest is history. Thank you Varsity!
Some more Tech history that may be of interest in this list of alumni...

Includes "Grunt" from G.I. Joe and Marvel character Mockingbird as a few of the fictional alumni.
