161 years old, not 167, but that is splitting hairs. Things change, memories differ but are true to the individual who attended at his or her time. I am sure that we can all recount stories that hold true today, and many that have changed since.

As to Fr. Lapomarda. When I went to the Cross, he was known as "Lapdog". I took him for one class and in my opinion certain people, cough...football players...cough...were favored over others.

Man, I wish I could have been at Kimball when the food was actually good. Upper Kimball was universally despised in my day, with Lower Kimball barely passing muster. This being said, Upper Kimball was a blast for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, which were special occassions for all...otherwise it was bad. I used to work in the bowels of Kimball and can tell you all some nightmare stories about the food, as well as confirm the security system protected liquor cooler.

There is even a reason, an unfortunate one at that, why the stairwell in Hogan was sealed off during the renovation.

Cheers.

Well, 1843, I got caught again. Not being a math major and being too lazy, I used a calculator to figure out the exact age of HC. But, my failing eyesight and darkened room (so as not to wake up the spouse) caused me to misread the last digit.

As to the quality of food, it's all a matter of expectations. 1843, you might be Italian with a mother who cooks like the finest restaurants on Federal Hill in Providence. I, on the other hand, had an Irish mother who food was simply fuel for the body. Kimball was probably a step up for me and down for you!

Lower Kimball, when I started, was still used for the post office and Dean of Men's office (like if you wanted a pass to leave the campus at night).
