Dekalb, Illinois-- Part 1

Drove into Dekalb February 5th near the end of our trip out to see the bald eagles along the Mississippi.

We met with the Dean of the College of Education at Graham Hall on the campus of Northern Illinois University. Since Liz and I are both graduates of that college and taught all those years, we have decided to follow my dad's path and set up an endowment (his is at East Carolina).

We must have talked for two hours about our time at Northern back in the late 60s/early 70s and teaching experiences. He is originally from South Carolina.

We then got a room on the Lincoln Highway at the Magnuson Inn (we like it because it is right next to Fatty's, a place we like to tip a brew or two and play NTN. Plus, it is the unofficial home for Huskie athletics.

OUT CRAWLING

We then drove out to Greek Row and went to Tequila Roadhouse and played NTN. We were very pleased to find all the Route 66 stuff around the bar.

Then, we drove past the old Delta Sig House on Greenbriar and the first one on Augusta on our way downtown to do the Lincoln Highway Crawl as in days of yore.
