Homecoming

Dear Brothers,

For those of you who were unable to attend, Homecoming was a great success this year. Countless hours culminated in a wonderful experience for all. As Brother Jenner mentioned in his earlier post, Curt Arndt (class of ’78) was a major player in orchestrating the large number of alumni that returned this year. Over the last few years we have seen a large increase in the number of alums that attend Homecoming and hopefully that number will continue to grow.

Homecoming Result Info Forthcoming

I figured I would drop a story out here and mention a few things.

First off, homecoming happened over this last weekend. I apologize for the lack of info that was disseminated over the website, but it turns out a large collection of late 70's crows had organized and were having a big bash at the house. Unfortunately because of the segmented nature of our alumni I didn't hear about it to post it on here, and none of them are members of the site (though it seems a few do know it exists).

What a way for Tiller to go out....

This year your donations can receive Purdue donation credit (for those John Purdue Club members) and will be TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

Please mail your checks and money orders to:

Crows Chicago Holiday Get-together

Last year we got together over the holidays at an Irish bar named Fado's just north of the loop. I know Homecoming is coming up but I'd like to poison some minds with the thought of another Chicago gettogether either downtown or wherever. We could schedule it so the guys down at school who live in the area will be back and maybe a few of them will attend as well. I guess replay to this message with restaurant ideas and maybe we can start hammering out a date. Below is a group shot of last year at Fado's on December 22nd.

This is from a while back. I think it was someones birthday or something.

Dear Brothers,

Help support my walk in memory of Rob and others

Dear Crows,

I'm taking part again this year in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP)'s Out of the Darkness walk to raise awareness on suicide.

I'm walking in memory of three friends, whom I all lost at Purdue - Kristine Noonan; Blair Smith; and of course, Rob McDill.

Please help me reach my goal of $3,000 in the next four weeks.

You can donate online at:

Thanks a lot!

P.S. We will be giving the Robert McDill Ceremonial Sword again this year at the Purdue NROTC Fall Awards ceremony. More details to follow ...

Purdue Versus Touchdownless Jesus

I will be in South Bend today, about 30 rows off the field in the north endzone. Today begins Tiller's legendary final season where Our Boilermakers sweep through the Big Ten (plus ND) like a cool breeze...shutting down all opposing teams with a top secret special playbook given to Joe Tiller by a giant talking trout in a stream in western Montana. The trout instructed him that the day after the Trojan falls he could open the book and disseminate its unstoppable plays to his team, propelling them to at least a new years day bowl game.
