you were involved in raising funds for the renovation of old main,
weren't you? Yes, Don dots was when he retired he became our chief
fundraiser for that. But he and I worked really closely together on that.
He was a great partner and
against some of my, you know, people who have become friends or I had
donors to, to that renovation. If you look at the major naming Ed Nadine
Carson, Most wonderful gracious people. Gary and I and Diane tucker who
still remained close personal friends of mine, uh, john and barbara
bubbling still, you know, personal friends of mine. So it was really
pretty, pretty wonderful experience. Um we kind of laugh because tom and I
actually, my husband and I actually named the, the kitchen break room in
old main because I really want to do something that was, that would have
an impact on the staff. So it was that doing that project was one of the
most fun things I've ever done. Um, I really was the project administrator
with the architect and worked on doing picking. I mean some design stuff
in all of the fabrics, all the furniture. That was again, just really a
wonderful experience because I knew it was going to have just such an
incredible, you know, impact on our alumni, especially for a school like
ours that grew so quickly and and didn't have a lot of traditions to be
able to take the, that significant historical building and the university
make this declaration that alumni are so important that we're giving them
the centerpiece of the campus I think was just a really incredible message.
