Tom, I know. DH and I were friends of his at Regis. You must have graduated in '67?

He didn't really transfer in, though. He started as a freshman. Then he left town after a couple of years, after he had thoroughly entertained us all, and everyone else in town. Not with a particular career goal in mind, though, but because he wasn't cut out for college and we'd heard all his jokes. Haha. He told me he doesn't remember if he was enrolled his sophomore year

We sat with him when he got his honorary degree at his class reunion. Were you there? It was in the old cafeteria-- the site of many of his escapades.

He gave a funny speech. I was surprised because he seemd slightly nervous at the table beforehand. He even got a haircut that day-- big deal for him to plan ahead like that. He's "disorganized" as he says.

PS. "(it's a staple to take visitors there since there isn't much else around during the day other than slushy dives with disgusting names like "Sink"...) "

That's outrageously wrong-- Boulder is heaven for foodies, for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Taber - I transferred into Regis as a Senior (from the AF Academy) and graduated in '68. Were you one of the first on campus women students at Regis - or did you go to Loretto Heights? I remember when the poor/frosh? girls (first class) were given a pretty rough time by the guys - and at Christmas - some of the lads gathered outside the girls' dorm (top floor of Carroll wasn't it? - during the first year anyway?) - to sing the 12 days of Christmas. The girls thought - well - finally they are being nice to us - yet it was the raunchiest version one could imagine.

And would loved to have been around Bill M if he was "performing" at the "caf". I actually thought the food was ok - but all my buddies from Chicago used to groan and groan about it.

Tom, I started Regis in the second year of women. We had all of Carroll Hall, and the animosity had died down. I understand the first year of women did have a difficult time-- unless they were HOT. A few of them did come back, but most didn't.

We had very strict rules & curfew, but we broke all of them. Maybe they weren't aware there was a 'secret' back stairway exit in Carroll??

It's all different now, if you haven't been to campus. It's had quite an infusion of money since we were there. Looks very nice. Carroll Hall is offices now.

PS The cafeteria food was awful-- green gravy and mystery meat. But we didn't know any better. We thought 'steak night' was awesome (thin, tasteless little steaks!). Our kids today would refuse to eat that stuff. haha

Oh yes, knew about the back stairway of Carroll hall - but we really didn't have much of a curfew as Seniors as I recall. Some guys just used it out of habit I think.

I was at the campus for a reunion 5? years ago. Yes, it does look different. When I graduated- one of my classmates was from a very prominent family and every semester his Profs had to gather in the President's office to make sure he had a composite 2.0. He drove a beautiful Shelby GT 500 Mustang- with a super sound system that we used at woodsies.

He had a trust fund himself at that time - of about $7 million - which was very good denaro in the mid 60's and I would not look askance at it right now. Anyhow - when the Jebbies finally got him through - his dad sent in a check for a cool million and they built a new library.
