[Eoscstudents] Menu for TGI Friday March 14

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

I did get to attend the Grant Writing Workshop at our McAlester Campus 
yesterday, and hope that I came away with some information that I can do 
some good with in the future.   At one point during the class, I turned 
to Anne Hester who was also there from the Wilburton Campus, and 
commented that the wind really seemed to be blowing as it seemed to be 
hitting the building in gusts.  She calmly told me, "That's not the 
wind, that's the bombs."  Not realizing we were in a war zone, I had to 
have that explained.  Evidently the Ammunition Plant was detonating old 
bombs? and the sound and vibration of it was reaching the McAlester 
Campus with a feeling and sound like that of extreme wind gusts.  I 
would've felt better if she'd just let me go on thinking it was really 
windy, and not known about the bombs going off nearby.  She says that's 
why her dog goes so crazy.  I don't wonder.  Now I just wonder that 
there's a sane dog (or cat) in the McAlester area! 

I also got to attend the wonderful Spring Concert last night accompanied 
by my daughter.  We were a little late, but came in thinking we were 
early due to my having misread the starting time in the paper.  (Either 
that or they did report that it started at 7:30 instead of 7:00.)  It 
was great to see that there were so many people in attendance.  Maybe 
the word is spreading about the quality of the performances put on by 
our Music Dept. and the fact that it is free and open to the public.  
Luke Forwoodson did his usual awesome job on his solo performance in Old 
Man River, as did Kendra Click and the other soloists, and all the 
musicians and vocalists.  I am just continually amazed though, at the 
that deep, old voice coming out of that young man when Luke sings.   And 
I know it's time for her to graduate and get on with the rest of her 
life, but I hate to think that we're losing Kendra Click.   Her singing 
is as sweet as her personality and she will be missed greatly here.  I'm 
really looking forward to the upcoming musical "Guys and Dolls" when 
we'll get to hear more from some of these performers.   Keep your 
calendars opened for April 24-26 for this fine performance.

Our menu for today includes:

             Smoked sausage
             Crispy cubed potatoes
             Pinto beans
             Turnip greens
             California blend vegetables
             Cornbread
             Hot rolls
             Steak fingers
             Gravy
            
And for dessert try our Cookie Bar.

Have a great weekend and Spring Break,

Rhoda   :-)
