:>) It's been on my mind a lot. The Mall Rat starts there this year, and I feel like I am back there mice elf. I'm beginning to indoctrinate her. Rule 1. Don't wear red to football games or during Big Game week. Told her all about Ludwig's Fountain, too. :>) "Ludwig's Fountain: The campus has had any number of informal mascots. Shortly after the Student Union complex (now the Martin Luther King, Jr. building) opened in 1960, the nearby fountain in the plaza became the favorite haunt of a German short-haired pointer named Ludwig. Beginning early in the morning and ending about 5:30 p.m., when he headed for home, Ludwig spent every day in the fountain waiting for a friendly student to throw a tennis ball or feed him. In 1961, by Regental decree, the fountain was named in his honor, the first location on campus to be named after an animal. Ludwig's reign of the fountain ended in 1965, when his owners moved across the Oakland estuary to Alameda." Ludwig was one of the "must sees" for visiting dignitaries, like JFK & Prince Charles. Lots of famous people met him, but he didn't let it go to his head. Oh, my, I am so jealous. Took a few hours off from work to go to the first Summer (Free) Concert in the Park. Leon Russell.
