One of the greatest parts about my job is the surprise drop-in visits, or notes that come in the mail from alumni and friends of muskie athletics. A few weeks ago, I received a great hand-written note from 1967 Lakeland graduate H. Malcom Richert that included an envelope that was sent to Mal's father from the 1965 Lakeland College baseball team from their spring baseball tour to Biloxi, Miss. Here is a photo of the envelope.
What an awesome memento with so many great names from Lakeland College's athletic history. By my count, this envelope's signatures include seven Lakeland Hall-of-Fame members! For a mere 6 cents, this envelope made its way from Biloxi, Miss., to Milwaukee, Wis., and will now live forever here on campus.
Our alumni and friends are fantastic, and their support of Lakeland College is so important to our current and future successes. I invite all alumni and friends of Lakeland College to make their way "home" next weekend, Oct. 3-5, for Lakeland homecoming 2014. More information can be found on our
alumni website. If you can't make it next weekend, come back anytime. I hope to join you in cheering on our Muskies!
