This morning as I arrived on the edge of campus (by the Tanner Building), I saw a familiar-looking silver-haired man chatting with a university policeman. One of the girls who was standing by me gave me a nudge and said with a big grin, "Look! That's President Samuelson!"
She was so excited to say good morning to President Samuelson, it made me excited too. When the light changed and we could cross the street, we walked right past him and said good morning. He smiled and said hello.
"I've never seen him up close before," my new friend said happily as we continued on our way.
"He came to a women's basketball game once," I said. I was pleasantly surprised when the girl answered enthusiastically. Apparently she attended several women's basketball games last year (they usually don't get very good attendance), so we were able to talk women's basketball until it was time to go our separate ways.
