Everyone knows that our esteemed technical editor is a graduate of Purdue University. I was recently able to validate a story he told me about a certain girl and a Studebaker that he dated there during his undergraduate years. Had to go way back to find it but it is now confirmed. Apparently he let both of them get away.

Truth be known, Dick, I let her go when I discovered she had been intentionally mispronouncing her last name and really wasn't an heir to the Marvel-Schebler Carburetor Company.

Hey Bob! I'm going to Lafayette in the next few days, Could you tell me how to get to where Purdue keeps their National Championship Banner? I've seen the Indiana University Banner, It's WONDERFUL! But, I'd like to compare it to the Purdue one!
Thanks
