” G Hardin Memorial Vampire Bat,” no date

Today we have an absolutely delicious little mystery. I got an email this morning from Tina Hicks, the FE&P Senior Project Manager who’s working on the Mech Lab’s much needed renovation:

I have been working to clean Mech Lab out in preparation for the renovation.  In the basement, east end, I found this tiny plaque on the wall.  It was so small I had to get a photo so I could zoom in enough to read it.  Sharing for your thoughts….

Here’s the little plaque, she guesses about an inch and a half tall by four inches wide:

So far the only potential “G Hardin” I’ve found is an Chem E named Gregory, ’70 ’71 but there may well be others so I’ll keep looking. I admit I’m stymied about the vampire bat.

If you have any ideas I’d really love to hear them.

Bonus: We seem to be down a tree.
