I had to run a quick errand...It occurs to me that I’ve been hearing about this school all my life, and still think of it as VPI. When did the name change? Maybe my mother had a cousin or something who went there. But she went to Longwood, and would talk about that, then VPI would come up too.

Greg's on site job was canceled so he came home early. When he pulled in the driveway he noticed Colonel/Dave the rooster.

Colonel ran under our Jeep. Greg went for the garage door remote..opened the door and corralled Colonel into the garage.

Sarah took some pictures, but hasn't sent them to my computer, yet.

Colonel looks like this...

It began as polytechnical institute (farming type curricula) and then the state made it our state university so technically it is Va Polytechnical and State University offically but just called VA Tech for short. I guess it was in the 70s or 80s, can’t remember exactly. Longwood was known as a all girls college for teaching. Is she a teacher?
