@RobertLauf Sorry Robbie. I’m a Cardinal fan. We’re going to have to work this out.

@ThompsonMayes @EdinburghWH Thanks for posting Tom. This emotional connection is the heart of what we do at the Trust. I also enjoyed the advertisement on the website for a “Graveyards Engagement Officer.” Maybe we need one of these at the Trust.

Wrapped up the February Board meeting of the National Trust for Historic Preservation @SavingPlaces . Tremendous progress on the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund and our efforts to tell the full American story. Scenes from our reception at the @WWilsonHouse.

Time for #NDSU to graduate to FBS. The Bison are good enough to be competitive at the highest level. The superior competition would also bring in the fans. Where is the honor in hammering the same second tier schools year after year. In the FCS, the only place to go is down.

NDSU says about 14,000 tickets are out for the quarterfinal game against Illinois State tomorrow. That means 4,700 tickets remain. This number is surprising and unfortunate.
