OU Posties – Athens

Nothing’s Changed…

Except the Hair Color

Memorial Day weekend was the Frontier Room Patio-Doug Hill Memorial Reunion 2011 in Athens. OU Posties from the early 80s got together to remember and reminisce the glory days of the Post gone by. Before the days of computers to put the entire paper together, we output copy on photographic paper and pasted it up on full-size pages to take to the printer.

Posties and all college students at the time could drink beer at 18. Oddly enough, six-packs of beer found their way to The Post office from The Frontier Room in old Baker Center. Thankfully, The Frontier Room was down the hall from the old Post office.

There is a video link on Facebook (click HERE) that show us in our opening Friday beer drinking fest.

As a reference to all of you – Doug Hill was married to one of our Postie alums and died several years ago. This was in part to remember Doug. Here’s to you Doug. We were thinking about you.

We also celebrated Aaron’s birthday early by taking him and some of his friends out to Casa Nueva for lunch on Saturday.
