Questions About the Current Smith House

[omnichronos]

I thought I would ad this thread for Q & A.

For example, does my old room mate Daryl Reichard still hold the House Marathon record of 2 hours and 55 minutes?

I was amazed at that! He did it with NO training. He was just that naturally physically fit.

I was informed after posting a pic of Chuck Butterfield in front of the refrigerator that the frig was still in one of the rooms. My question is:

Is the $700 stainless steel microwave that Kevin Jones purchased as Kitchen Manager still there?

That was one expensive small microwave.

I have no idea on those answers, but great thread Russel. I've got some of my own questions.

How many rooms still have platforms and does anyone know how old they are? In my day, some of them were so well built (Libor) that they may have become permanent fixtures. Some, however, were not.

I toured Smith in 2005 on my way back to my high school class reunion.

Many improvements have been made but the 20 years that have elapsed since my stay there have taken its toll. It was always kind of a dump but it still has the old charm. Wouldn't change a thing.

Anyone have a good way of scanning in old photos? I have many classic photos from my day, some of which I won't post to protect the innocent.

Here's a question about the current house...did it sustain any damage in the tornado on 11 June?

[Jeremy C_88-93]

Hey John, are you looking for someone with a scanner? I have one but haven't even scanned in my old photos. Well, not many of them anyway. I think you can scan photos and a Kinko's, probably onto a memory card you provide. Check that out.

Kendric, The tornado missed by nearly 1/2 mile - it hit Rathbone Hall (part of Durland when we were there). No damage visible now, but I know there was insulation from Water's True Value spread all over that part of town, so I suspect there was some cleanup needed.
