Aren’t those two pictures taken in nearly the same area?
By the way, if you go back and look at the pictures from 1969 from last week, all the trees were standing up straight!

Marty gets bonus points for his comment!
Marty, do remember Bill Red (William S. Red III), who ran the Campus Store?
Hattie is his ancestor.
Lel Red taught math at Lamar High School until the 1960s. There is some disagreement over who the first woman graduate of Rice was; I can share the substance of it with you privately if you are interested.
I’m pretty sure I know what you’re going to say. And I agree with you.
