University, which was conditional upon building
without a mortgage. When the dedication
commenced that evening, we were $155,000 short
of the debt-free goal. Before the lights dimmed
that night at e Ralph, others stepped up and
answered the call: first was Howie, who offered
to increase his pledge yet a third time. en
came Bill Hunter '61, also pledging to make his
third gi, then Rich Becker '62 raised his hand,
followed by Jim Page '74 and Bob Solberg '66,
also a three-time giver. Our contractor/builder,
Craig Tweten, and design architect, Cunningham,
opened their wallets. So did Mike Kemple '83,
Mick Gillen '67 and Dick Kornkven '70.
By evening's end, the shortfall was almost
halved to less than $85,000. ΑΤΩ's spirit will
prevail by year's end. With your help, for which
we have been and are most grateful, our debt-
free goal will be met. It was "lights out" at 10
p.m. at e Ralph, as is their policy on events
such as ours. In days past, the 3000 Fun Club
gang was just getting into gear at this hour on a
weekend night. Now, on this Friday evening of
dedication and celebration, decades later, the 10
p.m. curfew at e Ralph seemed perfect for the
mostly over 50 crowd.
