FAST HARRY MAKES CONTACT

I received an email from Harold Kapp yesterday - he's presently in Corvallis. He's finished taking survey classes at OIT in Klamath Falls and mentioned he had spent the summer in Alaska surveying for the BLM. Kinda sounds like fun, except for hummingbird-sized mosquitos, I'm sure. I anticipate that the next time he heads up to PDX (his sister lives in Hillsboro), we'll be having a visit. I think I can line some work up for him, even.

UNR DOESN'T SUCK

Looks like this year's Cinderella Story at the NCAA tournament may be Tom's UNR Wolfpack. Last night they shocked #6 Michigan State with a 72-66 upset victory for their first NCAA tournament win ever.



The bad news is that their next opponent is #2 Gonzaga, which some analysts have predicted will take the whole enchilada at the end of the month. Last night, Gonzaga wiped out #15 Valparaiso 76-49. Valparaiso stayed somewhat competitive through the beginning of the second half, but the Zags shut them down with serious D for the rest of the game and never looked back.

Good luck, UNR. You'll need it. And, if it's any consolation, you can always look forward to an Awful Awful after its over. Tom - are you going to the game?
