Homecoming was always fun. Those yellow football mums with the purple M were just the thing. Speaking of football, I took my grandkids to the playground located on what was formerly Jones Field. We walked up those familiar concrete steps and I almost could smell the popcorn at the concession stand. They played on the run down playground for just a while and then decided to leave after being attacked by bees. Not a good experience. Gee, maybe someday, we Trojans could make an improvement there. Hurrah for the purple and gold!
Oh, Bev...I bet you had a little "moment" when you went back to Jones Field! :) Elizabeth and I went to Mapleton before it was torn down and had our own moment a few years ago. It's amazing....like a movie....you can almost hear the sounds and see the building just how it was when you were there. **sigh**
