The Drews - an amazing family!
Anyone who was in attendance Saturday, curious your thoughts, observations. I was unable to make it.
I do dispute the preface about not being a good enough writer. Discussing someone's life and impact from the eyes of their grandchild is a wonderful approach. Well done.
@burnee77 I attended from about 3:30-5 p.m. A lot of Valpo people, a lot of Baylor people and others I didn't recognize. Homer spoke first, followed by Bryce, Dana and Scott. They were all outstanding. I sat a couple rows behind most of the grandkids, and actually President Padilla and his wife ended up sitting next to me. I didn't get a chance to talk to any Drews because they were so busy talking to others, and I had to leave for a family outing. I did meet LaPhonso Ellis, and I told him I was in attendance in December, 1988 for the "Miracle on Union Street." He enjoyed the story. Janet was quite a lady, I got to meet her when they still lived in Valpo and it was always a pleasure speaking with her. I'm excited about Isaiah Shaw joining the program and Homer returning to Valpo to watch some games.
@valpo89 Thank you for sharing! Good stuff. Isaiah Shaw, let's see if he lives up to the hype. Bryce and Peters were the only two in my mind that met expectations from day one. Keith Carter took a minute longer
I would argue that Lubos Barton and Raitis Grafs also immediately met high expectations
