me and bobknightfan have both enjoyed the rousing music of Peter Paul and Mary live. And George fuckin' McGovern rocks too. I guess In 30 years I'm gonna be posting about them letting gays get married in Wait Chapel.

"For example, the convention ruled that all trustees of the college had to continue to be North Carolina Baptists. Non-Baptist trustees were not allowed."

And it took Mr. Wilson another 22 years to finally terminate this relationship.

but did they play the Alma Mater at the end?

Then 17 years later...I was born.

Coincidence? I think not.

Happy Birthday.

Piccolo ran for two touchdowns, caught a touchdown pass and kicked two extra points. "Oh, I have never been so tired in my life," Piccolo said.

Apparently that was the first time in 13 years that we had beaten Duke.

Pretty sure the first student to integrate Wake Forest was Ed Reynolds, not Kinga.

Believe it or not, I met my second wife at that riot. I was a TA for Professor Leonard Tarlington at the time. Crazy night. Can't believe it's been 50 years! Feels like yesterday. I won't bother you with all the details, but that night taught me that love is real and all politics are local. Two lessons I never forgot.

And now they're all Catholics.

 

[Deacfreak07]

I think you are right. Don't know why I had Kinga's name on my mind. Was he the 2nd one?

BTW, another story on that Duke game. That was the only game I remember during the four years I was there that all the male students left their seats in the grandstand before the game and actually went onto the field, forming two lines for the team to run onto the field out to about the 50-yeard line. It was easy to jump over that short wall at BGS, or go down a couple of steps in two or three places, to get to the field. (Plus, probably half of them were already fairly drunk by that time. )

Peter, Paul, and Mary performed outdoors behind Renolda. I believe it was my freshman year '62-'63.

 

[Deacfreak07]

That was not the same concert that I am talking about. This one was 50 years ago tonight....November 10th, 1964.

How can we trust you after the Ed Reynolds gaffe?

 

[deac_tracy]

They burned a cross. Wow



That can very easily be misinterpreted.

 

[tsywake]

A suicide jump off Reynolda Hall? Did those actually occur?
