The Bennett Clan

I'm going to the 500 this year... and the sweetest part is, the whole thing is free - gratis, comp, cuffo - courtesy of Rose-Hulman.

In case you've not heard, RHIT has a new president this year. I stopped by his office open house at Homecoming last September to say hello, and ended up talking with his wife for about half an hour. Apparently, we hit it off, and, saying that she thought I'd be a "lot of fun" to have at the race, invited me as one of their "personal guests". (Now, don't get too excited; the group of "personal guests" is large enough to fill a charter bus...)

At any rate, I saw them again in February at the St. Louis alumni meet-and-greet I organized for Dr. Midgley this past February, and his wife again confirmed I was going. Well, last week I got in the mail my invitation from the alumni office, so it's now official. I will probably be staying on the northwest side with my fraternity big brother, Matt, who will likely be my "and guest" seeing as how there hasn't been a viable candidate for And Guest for about a year and a half now...
