From one PROUD Alumni

Dear Editor:

I am a two-time graduate of SIU who departed Southern Illinois in 1976. Although my heart is still there, I now reside in New Mexico. The Saluki basketball team's accomplishments have zoomed me be back to my time at SIU. Those memories include Dr.'s O'Brien, Freeberg & Taylor ... and of course, Doc Abernathy, all role models from the Recreation Department. I still carry on their "spirit." They have made me successful in New Mexico. The Salukis were on the front page of the Albuquerque Journal last week. I couldn't believe my eyes! I wore my SIU T-shirt to work every day last week, and I was glued to my TV on Friday. All 325 New Mexico Saluki alumni thank you Dawgs!!!

Ed Chismar,

Cedar Crest, N.M.
