Anyone on here stay in McVoy Hall in the period from 1988 to 1990? I'm pretty sure I heard the guy who ran the snack shop there at that time. His name was Al and he was, at that time, partially blind. He called in to the Morning Drive this morning with Jim Hawthorne and Doug Moreau and was explaining how Jim has helped him to "see" the Tigers over the years. It was a good call. I used to visit with him when I lived there and went down to get a Frito pie or something.

I remember that guy...had a couple of friends that lived on the first floor of McVoy from like 87 to 89. Seemed like a fun place to live. They moved there from Power Hall which was a wild place they put mostly freshmen in. Probably a lot of Power Hall Alumni on the Rant. Isn't McVoy back to being a women's dorm?

I was in McVoy from 90 to 93.
It was an underrated dorm for sure. Great location. Rooms not so bad.
The one they should never have closed, though, was Hatcher. If I could have lived all four years in Hatcher, I would have. Hell, I would still live there now if I could.
I had a perfect corner room behind a fire door. Quiet, and right next to the stadium.
I did student media back then, and that was right next door.
My incoming freshman class was the last one to live in Hatcher. It's now another office building for faculty.

I lived there my first semester Fall of 92. That place was like Revenge of the Nerds. I'll never forget the look of terror on the girls faces that cut through the lobby on rainy days on their way to and from class from their dorms.

Remember the guy for sure. Fritos Pies and a hefty Chicken Fried Steak. Good memories - thanks for sharing

I lived there sophomore year ('87-88) as was one of the SOAs the next two years. If you worked the desk we must know each other.
Al was a hoot - made a killing selling cigarettes to all the Herget and Miller girls. He moved the stand to Pennington shortly after I left.

Reading these posts I really begin to regret dropping out in the 8th grade. I would have made college my bitch

My name is David Morris and I not only lived there in the '80s and '90s, Al, (the snack bar guy), was and is my best friend. We had so much fun in the '80s. Probably more fun than once is supposed to while others are trying to study. LOL! I ended up running the snack bar in the early '90s before I got serious about getting out of school. I told al about these posts, and he asked who you guys are; and to say, "Hello."
