The Haverblog

While on location at the Athletic Center (see previous post) I ran into Coach Tom Donnelly and his trackmen, who were warming up for a late afternoon’s run.

Tom is a legend in his line of work, a true master and beloved by all; you don’t get much more winning-er than this. For you alums who competed under Tom, enjoy this video clip.

To put this man into perspective, running into Tom in his element is like running into Sir Paul McCartney outside Abbey Road Studios. Yeah.

Like a couple of media Goldilocks searching for a communication vehicle that’s Just Right, Dean Greg Kannerstein ‘63 and I hope this blog will be a running account of life on campus as we and others here know it. Breezy. Chatty. Sometimes useful. Present tense fordness leavened with references to times and people past.

Wx today: wispy clear & chilly.

News today: biology’s Andrea Morris profiled in a spinoff from Science…squares from the AIDS quilt to be exhibited tonight in the Field House (here’s video coverage)…date set (Dec 6 @ 9p in Stokes) for frosh filmmaker David Burstein to screen his documentary “18 in 08″.

Intriguing idea: alum proposes an iTunes aggregation point for music created by fords past and present; “HC” as record label or at least organizational label. I’d gladly pay to hear a rewind of Judy’s Tiny Head or the latest from Rick (fka “Rich”) Pressler ‘81. To what degree might those $.99 downloads be a fundraiser for the College? Or is it enough to have the College associated with all that talent?

Now off to the Athletic Center to shoot standup greetings & goodbye for a video tour of the facility, starring Emily Hinchcliff and Andrew Kim.
