No camera--sorry! I decided to walk over to see what the new MSC looked like today, and stopped by here on the way over.

I'm logging this today even though I "found" it many days ago, but I was in CS today and saw it again...

16 March 2012 TommyGator Found it

Talk about memories! Mrs T. and I came back to a very familiar place to take the picture----we first met many years ago just a very short distance from here and the rest was history, so to speak. I even had a class in this building! Thanks for the Virtual that has so much meaning for us!

Not too many people around on a Sunday afternoon. I stopped in the middle of the road and grabbed a couple of pictures. Thanks for bringing us here.
