Plaque Inventory
Have Ben Cherry starting today on the plaque inventory. Just spent an hour going over things, and have sent him off to explore Drake, see how that goes. We'll do this side of the tracks, then go Hartwell east. I'll need to contact res life to get him into the dorms. Should be very interesting what he turns up, got an email today in response to Daily Eagle post that there is a plaque to Mabel Vanderhoof over in Morgan, which surprised me. That was named for her originally, then they just called the whole thing Morgan, I didn't know there was a plaque to her in there still.
Many possibilities for advancement/outreach here, refurbish plaques, post more prominently, invite family etc. Mike Andriatch & Julie Pruss are very interested.

Athletic Communications
Interim director, Kevin Stiner, contacted me, re some files Kelly had put together for me before he left, and he had some other questions about preserving the athletic history. I am setting up a meeting with him to go over possible ideas.
Update: met with him and student assistant today, 6/2. Spent time showing materials I have here, received some files from him, discussed things they might want to save, send me etc. One item he mentioned of particular interest is that they have some old cans of 16mm film, which he is going to get to me. Maybe old game films?
