Day 17



Wednesday was a relatively quiet day for some of us, as we are between home football games. Although we are sold out tonight and have plenty of banquets, they took it easy on me today and in fact took me out to lunch. I attended the College Football Hall of Fame luncheon series to listen to Pete Dawkins speak. Mr. Dawkins attended Army and was the first Rhodes Scholar to win the Heisman Trophy. In addition to Mr. Dawkins we had the privilege of hearing one of the attendee's cell phone conversations as he spoke with his wife about his plans for the day. Although I am sure Mr. Dawkins and the rest of the audience were not all that interested, it proved a challenge for him to compete with this gentleman's conversation. He handled it as a professional and was able to continue his speech despite the rudeness of this gentleman.

Overall it was great event and I was glad I had the opportunity to attend. After the luncheon I was given the rest of the day off, as I had a busy schedule over the next few days.
