I got tired of the broke student routine, so I did college on an
accelerated basis, graduating in 3 years. Mrs. Nonny was a St. Luke's
graduate, and immediately returned as a teacher there. The culture
shock was incredible- going from starving students to two good paychecks
made it all worthwhile. <grin>

The weird part was visiting Tredway Hall during the conversion. We had
the (grown and married) kids with us to show them KC for the first time
and show them what good BBQ was. Tredway was gutted when we drove to
it. I saw exterior rigid conduit I'd put up for outside lighting now
rusted, twisted and clearly out of service. In my own mind, everything
had been still new there, but I got a dose of reality. . . and aging.
