[Could it be?]

Let's see, NT Exes sends me a birthday card signed by David Layton and numerous pieces of correspondance.

Rick Villareal accepts an invitation to speak in front of 65 of my fraternity brothers at a golf tourney this summer to speak the Mean Green gospel and sell the program. It was his second golf tourney to work that day!

I get a call from Abbey, a secretary for Chuck Benson who is an advancement associate housed in the Gateway Center. She would like to know if I would like to have lunch with him. I say sure, he has offered to come to see me in the Metroplex (nice touch) but I pass and say I'll come to Denton. I asked her how she got my name and she replies "probably athletics". What??? We have athletics working with the advancement center and probably the other way around.

This isn't the same North Texas that would call (telemarket) once a year. This is the North Texas that is doing everything right. It is so nice to see UNT reaching for it's full potential.
