In 141 days, I'll be back on campus at my alma-mater at an extra special homecoming as Lebanon Valley College continues celebrating its 150th birthday. In honor of that countdown, here's memory #141: "my" press releases.
In yet another sign of exactly how old I am, look at this quaint practice circa 1989 -- individual press releases for students and their hometown newspapers touting their participation in special programs. Of course, not that I'm complaining. I was a runaway with no parental financial support looking for a college education -- were it not for the Presidential Leadership Awards (a scholarship program of that era), there would have been absolutely no way I could have matriculated at a small private liberal arts school.
Of course, whether these blurbs ever appeared in the Lebanon Daily News that fall, that I just don't know ...
