[QUOTE="chiefini, post: 1545598, member: 11271"] I have to tell you, Lou, how sorry I am that your family’s store closed. It was an important part of our life on campus and afterwards. I bought all my textbooks there (I always liked it better than Folletts) from 1970-1974. I remember your store was one of the only (and best) places where we could get our Alpha Gam paddles and clothing. I came back to campus (never missed a Homecoming) often, then my husband (who I met at U of I in1973) bought Football season tickets which we held until last year. We owned blue Flying Illini Kenny Battle #33 tees. Your store was our go-to place for our Chief gear. We also appreciate how your family honored him and fought so hard to keep him. Please know that Te Shurt will be missed. :chief: [/QUOTE]
