Busy Weekend-- Part 1: NCIS, Fatty's, Pizza Pros, Lincoln Inn, One-Room Schoolhouse and the Legiom

THURSDAY, MARCH 22

We went to DeKalb, Illinois, to the campus of Northern Illinois University and heard the Director of NCIS, the real director, not the TV one, Andrew Traver speak.  He is also receiving the NIU Distinguished Alumni Award.

Afterwards, it was to Fatty's and Pizza Pros on Lincoln Highway to watch the NCAA Tournament games.

FRIDAY, MARCH 23

We ate at the Lincoln Inn on Lincoln Highway in downtown DeKalb, then went to an 1880s one-room schoolhouse on the way home.  We later went to the Fox Lake American Legion for 50-50 and watched the NCAA games there and at home in Margaritaville.

NCIS Director Andrew Traver to Speak At NIU Thursday

This is the real NCIS, not the ones on TV.  That's Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

Andrew Traver will be giving a lecture "From Douglas Hall to the Pentagon -- One NIU Huskie's Journey."  Traver is NIU Class of '85.  This should be an interesting talk, especially coming from an NIU grad.  Plus, Liz and I are big fans of all three of the NCIS TV shows.

This is part of the "Experience NIU" lecture series.  It is free and will be held at the Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center at 6 p.m..  Admission by ticket.

There will also be a reception held at 5 p.m..

Liz and I will be going to it.

Looking Forward to It.  --RoadNCIS
