YES – I AM SENDING OUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT OTHERS AND I HAVE BEEN DIEING TO SEND FOR A LONG, LONG TIME….MORE YEARS THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE…MORE THAN I KNEW!!!
Just wanted to give you all a heads up – an official invitation will be coming out in a week or so from OSU. But I wanted to get this date out to everyone now so you can pencil it in on your calendars.
We know that not everyone will be able to attend, but we are also going to plan a second gathering around one of the home football game weekends also – which will be fun to attend, since the construction of the track will be greatly underway at that time. Dates are hard to find where everyone can attend – as we all know.
The first ones as you know are always special, symbolic and this one has so many stories behind it – history upon history. So if you can be there that day to celebrate something that many felt would never happen. We would love to see you here.
