Time Machine: Mumps & Collegian - May 1969

A great way to end one's college career: 15 days in the college clinic with mumps! Ugh.

I don't remember bringing you flowers.

Ruth Baird Shaw
Your sister carol was trying to take care of you. I have a letter she wrote home about you being in bed with mumps!

Anita Stewart
What a bummer that must have been.

I spent the last 15 days of my college career in 1969 in bed at the Asbury College clinic. This sign was posted on the door to my clinic room. Lordy, the things I stuffed in that box of mementos!

American Gothic 1969
Notice the message to our fearless leader Michael Clem Bock: Clam up, Clem! We were attempting a classic Grant Wood pose with T-square instead of pitchfork, but Janie should have been to my right.

Janie should not have posed for that photo to begin with! Whatever was I thinking???!


Terrell Shaw
I weighed 70 lbs less than today! But headed back toward that weight, by cracky! I want to meet that guy halfway: 5lbs down in the last month, 30 more to go by December 29, 2015. then ten more after that goal is reached.


Laurie Craw
You sure were scrawny back then LOL


Terrell Shaw
I weighed 135 lbs when I graduated from college... of course that was immediately following 15 days abed with the mumps.


Laurie Craw
Well, if mumps does that, how do I get Steve infected?
