Terre Haute

I went back to Terre Haute on Saturday to see one of my college friends. Dave Fisher was in my pledge class at Rose-Hulman and was also at Stanford when I was there. We lived right next to each other & hung out all the time. Dave stayed for his PhD when I left and recently finished that up.

Dave has just started a tenure track position as a professor at Rose-Hulman. He's teaching three sections of Graphical Communications this fall. That's a class where you learn how to draw parts on the computer using a CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) package. I always considered it to be quite an easy class & Dave agrees. Let's just say he's not exactly being challenged for time right now.

Dave has purchased a house and is now in the somewhat slow process of fixing it up. It's an older place, but it has a decent layout & nice rooms. He's currently in the process of painting the entire inside of the house. I helped him get his bedroom finished up. We also put together his pool table.

It was a good time and it was good to see Dave again. We stopped by the old fraternity house briefly. They have completely renovated the place and added a few rooms at the same time. It's something we had been trying to do for years so I'm really happy for them that it finally got finished.
