but it was fun to see a guy in a kilt playing the pipes on the cover of the print version of th eStanford Report this week. Here's a link to the online article. It's about the levelling of an historic building on campus.

Alan,

I must say that is quite the fitting tribute to the old building. Several months ago one of the local universities tore down the last of some WWII-era barracks that were part of O'Reilly General Hospital. As the building (which had been used as administration offices) came down, one of the vice-presidents & his son broke the windows with rocks.

My grandfather was one of thousands of GIs that were treated at O'Reilly. In 1946, he had a relapse of malaria on the public square (he contracted it India) and had to be hospitalised.

When I read of the disrespectful behaviour of that VP, I was livid. It's nice to see someone show respect to a piece of history, even its final moments.

Sorry for the .
