What's in your office?

 

1.  Picture of my wife and me right before we got on a cruise ship in January 2014 for our delayed honeymoon (coincidentally the same time a major ice storm caused the university to close) and various pictures of our daughter Grace.

 

2.  A picture I took of the scoreboard of the Division III NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship in Holland, Michigan. I wanted to capture an image of the scoreboard to forever remember the win and the season.

 

3.  Picture of Coach Nick and me that Linda Striggo took before one of the Monon Bell games that DePauw won at Wabash.

 

4.  I have a plaque DePauw gave to my grandmother in honor of my late grandfather that says, “To the family of V. Bruce Collins. In Memory and Appreciation for 33 years of Faithful and Devoted Service to the Physical Plant Department from 1951-1984.”

 

5.  A lithograph of Row 2 of the 1977 Indianapolis 500 shortly after the command to start engines. A.J. Foyt, driver of the #14 car shown in the picture, would go on to win and become the first four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500. The lithograph used to be in the Lilly Center before it was remodeled. I found it at the Service Center and gave it a home in my office.
