Pitt Memories:

I remember marching with the SDS in 1974 demanding Foster’s statue removal.

Watching classic movies at Lawrence Hall.

Remembering the demolition of Forbes Field and seeing the University build new offices on the site. Except a little bit of the wall remained with a plaque where Bill Mazerowski made his famous 1960 World Series play.

The “O” which kept me fed during all night study sessions with the fries, dogs and subs.

Frankie Gustine’s restaurant with the greatest seafood I ever ate.

Litchfield Towers where I held court at 404 Tower C for 4 years.

The King’s Court Theater which ran Flesh Gordon for over 2 years and where one of the first Rocky Horror Midnight Shows began.

Beautiful Heinz Chapel.

There was a great Chinese place The House Of Chiang where I could feast on roast pork fried rice for the incredible price of 85¢.

Gus Miller’s News Stand on Forbes where you could get newspapers from all over the world.

Carnegie Museum with the dinosaur collection and wonderful cafeteria.

Hillman Library with thousands of rare volumes and original manuscripts.

and now I realize it’s 42 years since I graduated…
