to every person who purchases an American Cancer
Society pink ribbon as part of Breast Cancer Awareness
Month.
Members will be set up in front of the wall calendar
in front of the campus bookstore during the hours

 Blast
from the Past
Leigh Poston correctly identified
last month’s Blast from the Past photo (the
adorable ballerina) as Amy Willingham
of Continuing Ed. Leigh will receive a free lunch
from Subway. Here’s another chance to guess
at a mystery person. Take a good look at the sailor
below. He’s only 18 years old. The year
is 1969, so he’s changed a lot. If you recognize
this full-time employee, call the News-Register
at 972-273-3498 and give us your answer. A winner’s
name will be pulled from all the correct entries.
Hint: He’s got facial hair now.
