NWCA Theme Park

[Byron Stay <stay@msmary.edu>]

Michael,

	I think you're onto something here. The theme park possibilities
are endless:  the Rev. Glover waterslide (and baptismal fount), the
Foucault Skating Rink, the Newmann Center, and the Purdue Aviary (and
world-renowned owl exhibit).  We ought to bring this up at the next NWCA
board meeting.
