[AT] How had the group changed

[HERBERT METZ]

One of the many benefits of this group is the exceptional fellowship. We sure enjoyed Warrens visit. Warren told us of the program that Clemson had for participating in the lunar eclipse.  Barbara and I really enjoyed participating.
One of the perks of visiting the Clemson Campus, as one approached the campus, was a nice sign, IIRC, Clemson Campus is a smoke free campus. Herb(GA)
