Thread Name: Birthday Memoriam Andie-VTam's daughter
Subject: RE: BirthdayMemoriam Andie_VTam's daughter
Just found a few more of Andie's uni friends on facebook and one has provided a correction to a story above.

"Rescuing cows. Late one night when she and Kimmie had just met, they driving back to Farm Vegas (maybe Andie's name for Farmiville where Longwood uni is because of the lights at night in rural wasteland) they encounter cows escaped from some pasture wandering on the road. So Andie decided they had to notify the owner. But who? Which field, what drive? So they opted for the first drive, drove as near the house as possible. Would have gotten out and knocked on door but for the guard dogs barking angrily all around. So she leaned on the horn and shouted out of partly rolled down window. "Your cows are loose." Then to Kimmie, "nKay, I did the right thing, now let's go." Evidently this made a big impression on Kimmie."

This story was from me, Andie had gone with me up to Collierstown (outside of Lexington) where my family has an old Farm house. I wanted to go on a day trip to take photos for a photography class but didn't want to do it alone. She went with me and we had this cow in the middle of the road experience on the way back. It was quite the experience! We felt we had to be of service by telling someone but that dog was terrifying!
We later told this story in our APO meeting and we were awarded with the weekly "Freak of the Week" award! It was given out to who ever had done the most silly or outrageous thing during the week. Usually a chance to embarrass a brother about something foolish. This was the only time I ever received that award... I usually tried hard to dodge it but couldn't help but share our fun time with the Brotherhood.

Man we had some good times!


Thank you Sarah. Sarah has tagged me in a load of facebook photos (her own and other uni friends) that include Andie. How wonderful to see never before seen pictures of my girl having laughs with her friends.
