I love this analysis! Rings absolutely true to me (in terms of her characters). Those folks are all very recognizable

OMG i found it! I don't think this is the first time it ran (hence "file photo") but I can for certain say "late 1980s" now, and that's plenty for my current purpose. The Batt kept re-using your pic! 😊

The photo is clearly spec'ed up for reproduction on a page 1 E? I wonder if it ran in the yearbook or the Batt?
(If you could find a year, without too much trouble, I'd be very grateful 😊 And I'll check the yearbooks online!)

Thank you, my friend! I have spent a lot of time in various hospitality establishments practicing that 😊

I always wanted to know the story behind the Aggie stripes on local Whataburger restaurants, so a couple years ago I dug in and found out: www.aggienetwork.com/news/158917/...
Maroon stripe on Aggieland Whataburger was first in country
After 1996 fire, restaurant rebuilt and added Aggie pride.

Here's a pic of my actual one from the actual 1990s 🤣 Get you a barrel clasp (at Michaels) and some fishing line, and you are 94% there!

Well, if you were me...

You are always way too good to me, my friend. I learned a ton from doing this story - basically, all the stuff I wanted to ask a cadet but never bothered them with! And I kinda hope it does work that way for current students, just as you say! 😊😊
