    If not, then he was lucky! :?

    I knew old Orville was a Purdue man...didn't know he was in the band.

    The Food Network did a thing on him, he was quite a guy it turns out. He was a straight A student at Purdue, ran Track and was editor of the Year Book. He spent a lot of time breeding corn...yup that's what they said....to come up with what he thought was the perfect popcorn. Evidently back in those days Purdue was a premium agricultural college....before they got into the engineering and astronaut business. I wonder if the Farmer/Astronaut was a Purdue guy!! :)

    Let us not forget Stu's Gator wrestling talent.

    Here on the Skybox, he looked pretty tough.
