Huge fan and alum.
Excellent! I bet you learned a whole bunch more than Occasional Cortex did in college. Unhappily, in 1965 I graduated from Occasional Cortex University - then called Boston University - and they failed to educate me also - which I told them at the time. I bet NDSU does a better education than Bahstin - BC, Harvard, MIT, BU... etc.
I attended a little brick 3-room school house in the Appalachian Mtns in the early 50's; the main room housed the 5th - 8th grades; in the 7th we studied Greek and in the 8th we studied Latin - I still use them somewhat today. Why can't kids today learn ENGLISH?!
