Yes, my name is Charles Krusekopf. I graduated in 1988 and I was in Will Rice College a Rice tradition. So I'm here for the Rice Alumni weekend. Shockingly, it's our 35th anniversary Alumni weekend. And so it was Thursday night last night, we thought, hey, let's go

00:00:21.020 - 00:00:37.069

to Willie's pub because in 19 eighties, Willie's pub on Thursday night would had a line up the stairs out the door around the corner uh and was packed every Thursday night. So we thought, hey, it'll be fun. Let's go down there and see what's going on.

00:00:37.490 - 00:00:51.259

We went down a group of us and there were about four people there, most of whom who worked at the Pub, we had a good time chatting with them, but the Pub was empty. Things have changed. Of course, the drinking age changed when we were at

00:00:51.270 - 00:01:09.449

rise. The drinking age went up every year. It seemed from 18 to 19 to 21. Uh but there was a much different culture on campus. So when we went upstairs uh at the Memorial Center yesterday and went by the coffee house, the coffee house was packed.

00:01:10.290 - 00:01:27.819

So generations change. Interesting fine. My kids, uh, would, would probably have been in the coffee house too. So that's one memory of, we spent a lot of time always on Thursday night at the, at the pub, Willie's Pub. And of course we did a few times

00:01:27.830 - 00:01:29.480

at Valhalla as well.
