Good luck to all!

A few more thoughts shared by some of you about the Boise bombshell:
- emails should go to the Idaho state board of regents. Emails to AD while being answered, have been a canned response. The chance for change in the decision lies with the board of regents. The BSU president has made the decision and is so far been unwilling even for talks with wrestling advocates on how the program can be kept as part of the athletic department.

- an article about how someone felt the whole story developed

Last, a note from Len Kauffman on former Oregon State Wrestler Tom Phillips ('74):

As many of you now know, Tom Phillips (OSU '74) had a heart attack last Friday.  Doctors discovered 80% blockage in a major heart artery and Saturday night, April 22, they inserted a double-stint in that artery.  He left the hospital Sunday evening and is now recovering at home.  He plans to attend the IOC gathering in May.

Please keep Tom and Jan in your thoughts and prayers.  It's probably not a good idea for him to receive phone calls or visits, but if you wish to send a card his address is PO Box 305, Turner, OR 97392.
Sending wishes for a speedy recovery to Tom!

Go Beavers! Bring home some Las Vegas bling!
