Re: Marching Leathernecks going to Hawaii

"Two of my eventual brothers-in-law are also in the trumpet line in all the performances I've linked to (one of whom is now a choral/vocal music education professor at Western). "

And your sister, too?

Re: LaCale London

My husband and I were half listening to the Bears lose their preseason game this afternoon while driving home when we heard the announcers talking favorably about a defensive lineman from Western Illinois. We missed the name, but after checking the Bears roster when we got home, it could only have b...

Re: How is Dunkin Donuts coming along?

Hearing Rocky's has closed with no plans of reopening. That’s not surprising. I’d heard rumors of that even before the owner passed away about a month ago: http://www.leathernecknation.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2516 And yes, Rocky’s is the same location as the old Regulator. Both were owned...

Re: How is Dunkin Donuts coming along?

Work has been underway at the former Subway building on East Jackson. Looks like something will be going in there. It's going to be a Mexican ice cream shop: https://www.facebook.com/106230608419213/photos/a.106245438417730/106245405084400/?__cft__[0]=AZXyuQ0Hv7CtVG_hxvxKQ5WE_VqWqWNn57NOekniPzQh717...

Re: Introduce Yourself

I rarely post, but read almost everything on LN. I grew up in rural Henderson County, moved to Macomb after getting married just before graduating from Illinois State and then worked a couple of years in retail on the square. I started working at WIU in 1976 and retired two years ago. I've worked in...

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff

I completely disagree that a PAC is a waste of money. As someone who moved to Macomb in the 70's when we lost out on a PAC the first time around, this is LONG overdue.

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff

Yes, Matt will be missed. I truly believe he was one of the main reasons WIU has survived through the past few years. Yet with every difficult decision I saw him make, his first concern was how the students would be affected and always voted in favor of them.
