Kent Pavelka GETS IT!

Love Kent as a basketball announcer. Not so much for football.

I'm sorry Sir, I was joking. I certainly didn't play NCAA basketball, nor attend College in the 1930's. I wish I was there to meet Ms. Earhart, but my friend (who passed some time ago) was related to the gentleman in the photo. I was born before there was a man on the moon, but not that long before.

Sooooo, you lied? Dang! I'm still one of the oldest on here. Besides Merle and myself, there is Target Combateer to consider, I believe.

Well, I am glad you are not almost 100. Live long and prosper, my friend! May the......................aw, never mind.

Yeah, Edward C. Elliott was a classmate of Cather's circa 1900 at Nebraska. He went on to be President of Purdue: he hired Amelia Earhardt to the Engineering college. His son, Edward C. Elliott was the center for Purdue on back-to-back Big 10 championships. Their cousin, Edward C. Elliott (gets confusing) was at UNL in the thirties, and I got to talk to him several times when I was in school.

I would love it if we created an ECE trophy with Purdue.


There's even a story that Lt. Pershing's dress sword was stolen from the Pershing Rifles by a cadet who transferred to Purdue, and the leader of ROTC at Purdue carried it for years. I don't know many of the details, but I'm pretty sure it's somewhat true.

GBR

Yeah, sure! Just liked you knew Amelia Earhardt! Yeah, sure! :taunt:

Somewhat true? What in the world does that mean?

You must treasure that photo, HuSkaBob.

Good for you! Yeah, my goodness! I will be 78 at the end of January.

Are you nearing 100? Sure am curious, HuSkaBob. :rockon:



...and it was all meant in fun my friend. I just couldn't resist.

As far as HuSkaBob (the bold) is concerned I thought the same thing. Sorry HuSkaBob.
