I was the RA for West Snarr from 01-02 and then moved over to the brand new John Neumaier apts. for the 02-03 school year. I graduated from MSUM in 2003 w/ a Paralegal degree and moved to Arizona. Now I'm back in Sioux Falls, SD working for State Farm Insurance and coaching the Sioux Falls Snowfox Swim Team! Life is great, but I could do w/o the cold weather. Hope all my fellow staffers are doing well. Have a happy Holiday season!

NU / HO RA and ATHD 1993-1996. After graduation, I moved to Boise, ID for grad school, then went to Salt Lake City, Utah for 6 years. I just moved to Indianapolis to be with my boyfriend and continue to work in the social work field. While out west, I was able to travel a lot (Grand Canyon, Yellowstone many times, Vegas LOTS of times, Alaska, etc.). Life back in the midwest is temporary and right now we're planning to return to the west next year! I miss my mountains!!! I hope all my old friends are doing well and have found happiness.

I work in Production Control for the Medical Division of 3M Company. After 3 years in St. Paul, my husband Chad Smoley (MSU, class of '97) and I transferred to the 3M plant in Brookings, SD. We've been here for 2 years and are enjoying it very much. We are also looking forward to eventually moving back to St. Paul, where we can be closer to family and friends. We had a baby girl named Paige in December 2001. We are both loving parent-hood!

I was an RA in Nelson (1996-1997), a Neumaier/Holmquist Assistant to the Hall Director (1997-1998), and a Snarr Residence Hall Coordinator (1998-1999). I graduated with a B.S. in Speech Language Hearing Science in the spring of 1999 and stuck around to see MSU turn into MSUM while I got my M.S. in Speech Language Pathology. I took a job at a private rehabilitation agency in Yakima, Washington. It's on the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range and gets 300 days of sunshine a year. It is gorgeous out here, but an entirely different world than Fargo-Moorhead. I guess that is why I am here.

I was an RA on 4th floor Neumaier during '98-'99. During this same year, Neumaier got condemned, which moved my RAing duties to the 11th floor of Nelson. During '99-'00, I got the opportunity to RA on the 3rd floor of Grantham Hall. Then during '00-'01, I was the RA for West Snarr.
I like to think that I am the only person who lived in every hall but two. I lived in Neumaier, Holmquist (for about a month or two), Nelson, Grantham, and Snarr. I didn't live in Ballard because of the all guy thing, and rules kept me out of Dahl.
Well while at the college, I majored in Accounting, Mass Communications, and ended my college career with a B.S. in Elementary Education...and two classes away from an Accounting minor.
I'm currently living in McKinney, Texas waiting for the school year to start so that I can be the 2nd grade teacher they hired me to be! FYI: McKinney is 36 miles north of Dallas.
Take care y'all!

I was an RA in Neumaier 86-87 and Head Resident in Dahl 87-88. Graduated in 88 and spent 4 years as a hall director at Carroll College and UW-Stout. Married Jeff Brown (RA neumaier 86-87) and moved to Rochester MN. Have 2 kids Jacob 10 and Abby 7. I work for a staffing company and Jeff works for a packaging company. Was sad when Neumaier came down, some of my fondest memories were picnics on the roof, dropping watermellons into the courtyard, and jumping up and down to get those elevators to work.

Studied...anything that I thought would help me graduate faster! (Phy. Ed., English, Personnel Mgmt., and Accounting) During one of my frequent "dropout" breaks, I met a wonderful man, and "dropped out" almost permanently! After three moves, and as many kids, we settled in Mankato, where I decided to try to finish college.
Applied for my Associate's Degree in 1996 or 1997, in order to bypass having to go through Gen. Ed. classes again at Mankato State University. Graduated from MSU-Mankato in 1998 with a degree in Accounting.
Worked in East Snarr as an R.A. and at Snarr Desk a LONG time ago!!! Am now "working" as a mom and wife, and preparing taxes out of my home. Have a wonderful husband and three great boys!
One of these years, I hope to have Homecoming weekend free so that we can come back and see everyone!

Hello everyone, good to hear all is going well! I spent most of my undergraduate career at MSU and worked as an RA in Dahl/Ballard and as a Hall Coordinator in Nelson/Grantham. I finished my Bachelor of Science in Human Services (finally!) at Black Hills State University and have just completed my first year at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am working on my Masters of Arts in Education Administration with a specialization in Student Affairs/Higher Education. My program has given me the opportunity to work in several areas of Student Affairs including Career Services, presently in Student Judicial Affairs, and Service Learning/Volunteer Services in the upcoming academic year. Lincoln is a great college town that I have grown to love, and It has been great being a member of the Big Red Family! Go Huskers! Take Care!

It is so good for you to hear from me again. I was lost after the wonderful years at MSU. I didn't know what to do so I bummed around Fargo-Moorhead. Three years ago, I got the courage to seek out something different and moved to Minneapolis. Things have really started to fall into place for me. I have been working at Piper Jaffray in downtown Mpls. The market stinks, but this is still a great company to work for. I bought a house in Hopkins and love having a neighborhood. I have not been married. I do not have any kids either. In fact, I was on a dating dryspell for so long that I had given up. I got lucky and ran into my dream girl this summer. That is an interesting story, but I have to save something for the FAC. I can really ramble, but let me close with this: Some little sh!theads broke into my garage and raided my beer fridge so now I patrol nightly with a loaded paintball gun seeking my revenge. Once a Vanilla Ice Man, always a Vanilla Ice man. Word to your mother...k-dawg out!

Time sure goes by quickly! It is hard to believe that nearly 20 years have passed since graduating from MSU. I studied accounting, but have focused my work as a consultant in business strategic planning, marketing and managment. I work from my home and enjoy the flexibility consulting offers. My husband Mike and I have 2 children, and enjoy the living in a smaller community. The kids get great attention from the school staff - small classroom sizes! I hope to hear from some of the other Snarr staff! Take care.

I lived in Snarr my first year at MSU (1990). I moved to Neumaier and lived there for 2 years. I was active in RA as a secretary and member. I truly enjoyed living in the dorms and have fond memories from my experiences.
I've lived all over the place since I graduated. I've gone from the East Coast to the West; where I've been for almost 6 years now! I miss snow just a little bit, but I don't miss the Fargo/Moorhead winds.
I worked in the publishing/advertising industry for 4 years. I am currently working in Washington Mutual's corporate office in Northridge, CA handling foreclosures. Not my dream job, I'm looking for something in Publishing again, but the economy isn't helping!
I often think of my college days and would love to hear from my old friends.

I was a Resident Assistant in Ballard Hall for 3 years. While at MSU, I majored in Mass Communications concentrating in PR and Advertising. I've been in Marketing ever since I received my degree.
I'm married with 3 children, ages 2, 7 and 11.
I'd love to hear from classmates that I went to school with and talk about the memories of those wacky days. Currently, I am the Advertising Manager for Becker Furniture World, a huge, massive furniture retailer located in Becker, MN.

Things couldn't be going better for me at MSUM. I was an RA in NGH in 2001. Then I moved on to DB in 2002, and now I am in Snarr in 2002-2003 as a complex coordinator. I am a Dragon Ambassador with the University. I will be graduating this coming May, 2003, and I have plans to do some mission work in East Asia with Campus Crusade for Christ. I plan to bring the Gospel to those who have never heard it before. There is something that college has taught me... something more important than anything you can learn in the classrooms at MSUM. I am still learning what it is.

I received my degree in Marketing and Management in 1986. Immediately (in July) following graduation I got married and we moved to Iowa. We lived in Iowa until 1995 where I worked as the Office Manager of one of the largest retail furniture stores in the state. My husband worked at Iowa State University. We moved back to Minnesota when a job identical to my husband's current position became available. He is now with NDSU and I work part-time for our church, St. Francis de Sales in north Moorhead. At the time of our move I was pregnant with our first child and opted to be a stay-at-home mom. We have two children, Abby is 5 and Sarah is 3. We just built a new house in Country Club South in north Moorhead. I worked in Snarr Hall as a deskworker and then Desk Manager in 1984-85 and 1985-86. I still keep in touch with a few old friends from Snarr - I have lots of great memories of living in the dorms!!

I was an RA in Neumaier on 2nd floor and 6th floor during the years of 1988-1989(mid year) and the 1989-1990 school years. I was an El. Ed major and graduated in the spring of '91. I worked at Kise commons several years as just about everything. I also frequented the Union's rec hall and have my name engraved on the pool trophy for taking first a couple of quarters. I moved back to my hometown of Montevideo for several years and took a job as a custodian in the high school in hopes of getting a teaching job if/when one was available. After trying to get a teaching job for several years in MN, I decided to go to where the jobs were. I took a job working in Texas. I have since worked for three different districts. I worked in Allen for two years, Plano for six, and am currently in my second year in Denton, Texas. I have been teaching 6th grade math. I have also taught reading, science, and health. I went back and got my Master's degree in Secondary Education while working in Plano. I joined the ranks of homeowner last May. It is just me and my faithful four legged sidekick Brandy. I now need to correspond with all that I see here!

I was an RA in Nelson Hall for 2 years 87-88, and 88-89. I graduated with a Business Admin degreee and a minor in Computer Information Systems.
Since graduation I traveled with Up With People for a year. During that time I traveled the US, Mexico and many countries in Europe.
In my first job out of college I worked for a consulting company (American Managment Systems). Working for AMS I lived in Europe for 5 and a half years (Germany 1 1/2 yrs, Portugal 1 yr, Sweden 2 yrs, England 1 year). Since leaving AMS I have worked for a small billing company that got bought by Lucent Technologies (3 1/2 yrs). During that time I had the opportunity to work in Australia for 6 months.
Now I have settled. I married a Swedish woman that I met while living in Sweden. Pernilla and I have an 18 month old daughter named Mia and we are expecting another child in July.

I graduated in '97 and worked in Nelson/Grantham and Snarr for 3 years. Shortly after grad, I moved out to Colorado Springs (sans a job, friends, or more than 2 months rent) and have been here ever since. This place is amazing--I encourage everyone to move out here! Which, ironically, sent Jennifer Tagler away from the tundra of the north and into my house as of a year ago. Good times. ;)
I am not married, not significantly involved w/ anyone except that cat that I purchased at a garage sale (long story), and not really minding either situation. Realistically, I'm shirking commitment as much as any true Gen-X'er will. I currently work for a non-profit out here in the field of Brand Management (basically marketing, strategy and product development). Whoever really thought we'd actually use those degrees? :) I'd heard rumor of this page but it took a road trip and a random drop in at my office by Ryan Sylvester and Michael Wilde to get me hooked up--and I thank them for it.

I graduated in 1980 with a BA in Psychology and Personnell Management and can you believe have never worked in either field!! I was an RA in Dahl Hall and also Neumaier(I always was afraid that the building was going to tip over, so I was relieved when it came down!)I worked for nearly 10 years as Coordinator of Christian Education and Youth Ministries for a couple of large churches. I got married in 1983, have a great husband, a daughter and a son, both teenagers. For the past 13 years I have been in the insurance business. We have lived in Eau Claire WI since 1985, so this is home. I still drag out the photo albums from time to time and laugh over all the dumb things I did during my college years.

I was a RA in Nelson in 1998-1999. Oh, the memories... I moved to Chicago after graduating with a mass comm and political science degree in Dec. 2001. I work at Edelman International, the world's largest independent PR agency, in corporate communications (real estate, retail, pharmacy and insurance accounts). I've stayed active in political life and volunteered for several Dem. campaigns this year. I sit on a few volunteer organization boards and chair the Chicago PRSA young professional network. I love Chicago and live right by the lake. It's a great city - look me up if you are ever in town. I'm an excellent host and tour guide.

I majored in Political Science & History. My res. life experience at MSUM was centered around Snarr Hall. 93-94 it was South Snarr, 94-95 was East Snarr.
Since graduating from MSUM I received my Masters in Political Science with a specialization in International Relations in 1996 from Ohio University. I have since used my degree in Political Science in a "real" job... (something we majors generally giggled about) & might I add, it was really cool. The 2000 - 2001 school year I was an adjunct instructor for St. Cloud State.
My "real" job is at K-tel International - the music company mostly known for its late night compilation commercials on cable. YES- it still exists!! I license music K-tel owns for use in compilations, TV, & movies.
In 1997 I married Brent Kapsner- a fellow MSUM res-lifer. In 1999 we got a puppy named Maddie & she's spoiled rotten. We are looking forward to the end of Feb. 2002 as we are expecting our first child.

While at MSU, I had the priceless opportunity to be a part of the Nelson/Grantham staff '98-'99. I fondly recall it as the "Year of the Fire Alarm." I graduated in the spring of 2001, with a degree in Biology and Chemistry. After stumbling across the state for a short while, I landed in Duluth, where I currently work for a biotech company as a sales representative. I also fill my hours kayaking, making wine, kickboxing, and also volunteering with the Democratic campaign...although not nearly as effectively as Kristine Kappel!! I would love to hear from any and all of my Nelson/Grantham family!!

Moved to Portland, OR, upon graduation in '88. Worked at Columbia College of Business as English teacher for 5 years; operated own resume writing / career consulting biz for 2 years; worked as software trainer for 2 years; then technical writer for 3 years. Somewhere in there, we had three children: Danielle (13), Caleb (11), and Nathan (8). Moved back to the Midwest (Colorado Springs, CO area; couldn't handle the cold of MN anymore!) 4 years ago. We love it here. I am homeschooling all of my children for the second year. I love it! I'm currently a Brown Belt in Karate (actually our whole family is!), training for the Black Belt test in the next year. Never a dull moment here.

This is my 9th year of teaching 8th grade geography and coaching junior high softball. I'm looking forward to retiring when I'm 90!!! I'm still a single babe, but I have added to my family. No, it's not a cat. I'm the proud mother of Gertie Ethel, a black lab, basset cross. A Blasset Hound! That's about it! Miss all my MSU friends! Love ya all!!

As for what is new with me. . .I married Darin Melgaard, the guy I was dating my last year as an RA. I lived in Warroad, Minnesota for about five years and then moved back to North Dakota. We have two darling little girls who completely fill our hearts with love and laughter! I am teaching in a small school district in Goodrich, ND, and am in my third year here. I teach grades 3-4, have an average of 5 to 8 students, and I love it!!! Our enrollment is dropping fast so I am not sure how long I will be here, but I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

Greetings, all. I majored in English and minored in Women's Studies. Worked in Nelson 95-96 and 96-97, both years on the 6th floor.

I moved to Portland Oregon in June of 2003. I have had the entire summer off to explore the coast and the mountains. Quite a contrast from the Dakota plains. This fall I will be teaching with My Smilin Violins, an innovative string teaching method in private schools around the city, as well as teaching skills classes to string players at the Portland Community Music School and finaly I will be teaching private lessons with both.
I love my new home, missing only my family and friends. Mike is here with me, this was our big goal and moving to Portland was our dream and so after years of planning here we are. I have pictures and more details on my webpage.

I thought I would update everyone on what I have been up to the past 4 years. I was an RA in Dahl/Ballard '98-99, RA in Nelson/Grantham/Holmquist ' 99-00, Complex Coordinator for Nelson/Grantham/Holmquist '00-01. I work for Musicland as a Senior Inventory Analyst. One year ago I bought a house in rural MN and commute to the big city every day. I do miss the excitement of residential life, but I couldn't live with out my pay check.

Hey all. I recognize a few names from my time spent at Moorhead State. I was an RA on the 2nd floor of Neumaier Hall in 1989-90 after transfering from North Dakota State.
I have mostly fond memories of MSU but it took a long time to get "deprogramed" from all the brainwashing I got. :-)
I currently live just north of the Twin Cities with my wife, two active boys and two crazy dogs. I have my own advertising, marketing and Web design firm that takes up most of my time, but I try to find time for the important things, like family, friends and church.
Drop a note if you have the time. Later Days!

When I e-mailed earlier I didn't mention the years I was an RA. I worked in South Snarr 1974-75, 1975-76 and then at the desk 1976-77.
Other RA's from that time period include
Tom Sawyer, John Olson (East Snarr)
I probably have a list somewhere, First names come to mind but not last names of several other Snarr staff
at that time. We had a great group to work with.
Elliott Garb was the housing director at that time.
Betty "someone" was the dorm director.

RA 7th Nelson 97-98 school year
Spanish Major; Marketing Minor
I sold insurance in the Twin Cities Metro for almost a year after I graduated (hated it), got layed off.
I sold pianos at Schmitt Music in Brooklyn Center, MN for alomst 2 years, it's a fun job, but retail hours are less than stellar. As of today (4/16/04), I have five more days to work doing this.
I'm about to start working at Business Incentives in Edina, MN. It's a non-retail, non-sales position, and I'm very excited. I plan on starting a Master's Degree in Management this fall and work through it a class or two at a time.
I've got a nice boyfriend, we've been dating for a couple years. He's the hunter/fisherman type, so I get to go on a lot of outdoorsy trips, which is fun.
I'm having a blast living in the Twin Cities.

Worked as an RA in South Snarr in 85-86 and then had the most fun ever as a summer RA during 86. I graduated from MSU in 1986 with a dual degree in English/Mass Communications. I graduated in 1988 with my MS in Higher Education Administration from the University of Rhode Island. And then I moved back to MN. My post-MSU housing experience included 2.5 years at Hamline University as Residence Hall Director to 2 halls. I currently am the Loan Manager in the Financial Aid Office at the University of MN - Twin Cities.
I remain good friends with other MSU Housing staff: Kristy (Odlund)Fink, Tammy (Malik) Kincaid, Debbie (Taphorn)Wessel and Jean Walker. In fact, all were in attendance at my Oct. 27, 2001 wedding to Marc Paez (yes, we were late bloomers, but it was totally worth the wait!)
I'd be interested in hearing from others of our era: littlecanadameg@yahoo.com

I was a Speech Communications major in school and I worked as an RA for two years in Neumaier (91-92) and one year in Ballard (93-94. I moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1995 and started working for Enterprise Rent A Car and stayed with them for 6 years as a manager. I ended up in Knoxville, TN (Which is at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park) in 1999. In 2001, I married my wife Laura and at this time we have no kids. In 2002, I started working for Biovail Pharmaceuticals as a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative. I also am the director for the media department of Hands and Feet Ministries, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the less fortunate in Knoxville and overseas by serving as the "hands and feet" of Jesus Christ. I have had the opportunity to go to Venezuela twice on humanitarian aid mission trips. I produced two documentaries about the trips. I enjoy East TN and its beautiful mountains, but I do miss MN and my friends from school. I do not miss the cold winters, however. If you are planning to be in the TN area, look me up.

Hi Everyone,
I worked as an RA in Grantham (95-96) and South Snarr (96-97) I graduated in 1998 with a degree in Social Studies. the day after graduation I got married to Joe Rosh. We are living in Aitkin MN (2 hours north of the cities) where we both teach Social Studies at the local high school. I'm currently taking graduate courses at Hamline hoping to get a masters in ESL. Life is good, but I do always miss those college days. Being an RA was great; I can't believe how much I rely on my RA experience in the classroom. I would love to attend the reunion, but don't know if I'll make it. I wish you all the best.

I was an RA 1991-92 and a RCA 1992-93 in Neumaier Hall. Ahhh! What great memories! I graduated in May 1993 and took a Hall Director position at Mayville State University for 2 years before I moved to Ohio to join a Christian Ministry called Echoing Hills Village which serves people with physical and mental disabilites. I met my husband, Shaker (Rajaseker) who is from India. I have two incredible step children, Joel (20) and Lauren (16). Our Daughter Hannah Joy was born October 22, 2001 and will soon be celebrating her first birthday. Hannah was born with Down Syndrome, and has been an incredible gift from God. She is the joy of our lives. Life is wonderful and God is so good. I think of my days as an RA and I am so thankful for all the great people I had and opportunity to meet. God Bless!

Studied at MSUM 1995-1997 as a Theatre Major with a Music Minor. I transferred to Point Park College Pittsburgh, PA in 1997. I graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1999 with a BA Musical Theatre Arts.
While at MSUM I was a resident advisor for Dahl/Ballard Hall. It was an amazing experience: the staff, students, and campus!
After graduating college I worked as an actress/model/dancer for the next 6 years. I worked in the theatre for two years and then made the big jump to TV/Film when I moved to LA, CA in 2000. I had gotten a bit part on TV's Young & the Restless and was hooked. I worked in TV/Film & Modeling for the next few years.
Concurrently I had started a dance co. in LA called Universal Dance Co. It was pretty successful, in 2 years we danced 200+ events all over the US. It was my first taste in business and I decided to make a career change.
Currently I am pursuing my MBA-Marketing degree and working in the Financial Industry. I have moved to Santa Barbara with my finace' and we recently purchased our very first home.
No matter where I go in life I always carry around the Mid-west values I grew up with: family, honesty, integrity, and work-ethic. I think anyone who lived in the Mid-west can take pride in those values; people around the U.S recognize Mid-Westerners to have a strong character built on these values. I am proud to have grown in up in WI and attended a MN University.
Thank you. Devyn Lisa-Witthuhn Seegers

I worked as a Complex Director for Dahl/Ballard starting in the spring of 94 and later took on Snarr hall as well. In August of 97 I moved to Mayville State University and was a Hall Director/Coordinator of Student Activities up until October, 2000. I have been in my new position as the Executive Director of the Glacial Lakes & Prairies Tourism Association since October, 2000. In a nutshell, I work for a Board of Directors to promote tourism to 20 counties in Northeast South Dakota. It's been over a year, and I still love my job. So if you're ever looking for information on the area lakes, campgrounds, or attractions, possible retreat locations, just let me know. We're a quick trip from the F-M area.
Social life wise, I participated in the Mayville State University staff bowling team for three years, and continue to bowl on a team in Watertown. No marriage, no kids...but 8 nieces and 2 nephews total now. Also, my American Eskimo, Angel, still puts up with me, and after over a year of being in Watertown, Angel is still a little bored with living off-campus. I however, after almost 10 years of living-in total, am really enjoying the peace and quiet...miss the student development side of things, but like the peace and privacy.
Say a big hi to all!

I was a Finance major from 1990 to 1994. I was a RA in Ballard in 92 - 93 and in Holmquist from 93 - 94. I met my future wife, Janelle Sanders, in 95 and we married in 96. I received my MBA from NDSU in 96 as well. I worked for Community First from 96 to 99 and we moved to the Twin Cities at the beginning of 99. I work for Aurum Technology (an off-shoot of EDS) and am a Network Engineer. I travel quite a bit for work since our company is growing rapidly. We had the wonderful experience in 2000 to become parents to our little girl, Claire. Janelle has retired from The Buckle and her new boss is now 17 months. If you're in the Minneapolis area, please look us up!

Mass Communications -Advertising & Public Relations
-Minor in Humanities Western Studies
Worked in Nelson, then in Dahl/Ballard as Assistant to Rosie Smith, then for Mike Pehler as Special Assistant to the Director of Housing and Security (MicroFridge man)
After graduation, buried phone cable for 4 months, as a temporary employee for Office Team as a Desktop Publishing Specialist for 13 months (fascinating work as a layout guy and styleproofer for a hub cap manual, and then an astounding shift over to helping create a front ends manual for ADP Hollander, a company that makes organizational systems for junkyards!). Since December of 1997, have been working for the Minneapolis Boy Scout Council. I now run a summer camp for 4th and 5th grade boys in the summer just South of St. Cloud, Minnesota. For the rest of the year, I am the guy in our office who is the advisor for all the training programs and advisor for the advancement programs (if somebody has a question about a merit badge, I'm the guy to talk to). I love what I do (finally). For those that know me, it may be amusing to note that the Council provides me with a minivan to drive. I am a minivan.
I have been married to Julie Melin (different name now) for 6 and a half years. We have a 2 year old girl named Grace and a 7 month old boy named Cole. We live in Robbinsdale. We currently watch Cinderella at least twice a day (it seems).

I was an RA in the 1999-2000 school year in the awesome building of East Snarr. I miss the people I worked with so I'm hoping to connect with some of you on this site.
The multiple years of graduation might be confusing. They are confusing to me, but I have a plan. I hope to graduate in Photojournalism in December of 2002, Public Relations in May of 2003, and hopefully Advertising in December of 2003. From there I want to go to Colorado and get a job in something!
I'm still waitressing. I was at Paradiso for a year and I am currently serving at Granite City. I just hope I'm not a "lifer." I had an internship this last summer at the West Fargo Pioneer and had 34 photos printed. It was very exciting for me!
If any of you 1999-2000 Snarr people are out there, give me a jingle!

I am currently in my 2nd of 4 semesters working on a Masters degree in Jazz Studies (trumpet performance) at Indiana University, land of basketball and sorority girls. I haven't seen Bobby Knight (because he coaches in Texas), and "Hoosier" actually has no definition (really).

We just bought a home in Clara City, MN - which is nothing in comparison to the dahlhouse I might add (: and are looking forward to our big day in August!
