Our Wabash Little Giants annual Monon Bell football game was cancelled due to the virus.  Instead we celebrated our survival, so far, of Covid and 2020 by gathering, while social distancing and masking.  We decided to use a campground so it was easy to keep our distance, yet still see each other and catch up on each others' lives.  We had a nice turnout given that most folks wouldn't be able to travel during the pandemic, so most attendees arrived in their own vehicles.

In the days before the Delt Fall Festival began, Randy '77, chairman of the event, made the final arrangements.  



Randy's efforts included food, firewood, campground, entertainment, outdoor games, etc. with help from his committee workers.  Murph recalled that Jim, Hutch, Batch, Rob, Chuck and Gumby, were instrumental assisting Randy, but there are probably others.  Let us know in the comments below and we'll update this entry.

We held meetings late into the night!

Not certain if this is the same pizza joint
since it's at a different site, but
in September 1973, Paul '77 & Murph '76 spent many nights
enjoying a pizza & beer at Greek's
on Green Street.


This crew set up camp, including a trailer full of firewood.

As Wabash Delts started arriving, the jokes, stories and camaraderie commenced and didn't end until the last man left on Sunday.

Of dinner that night was at the beloved steak house.
