In 1985 I was a freshman in DHH. Our hall was “Esquire”, middle of the 3rd floor. Our RA held a vote to change the name to “Bloom County”, and I drew up a new logo for the hall. I painted over the “Esquire” sign with the new mural from the drawing below, and our RA had t-shirts and hoodies printed. I think I have a couple of pictures of the mural somewhere.

  1. I spent two years at Michigan Tech back in the late 1980s. I enjoyed my time there, but wasn’t ready for collegiate life and went back home. I’d kept a lot of items from my time there, and enjoyed them immensely.

    Alas, time and tide have claimed a vast majority of my physical memories…many of the clothes wore out, magazines and papers lost to various disasters and moves. The loss that disappointed me the most was the square MTU sticker I’d kept on pristene condition for fifteen years until a flooded basement rendered it unusable and unsalvageable.

    Does anyone know where I might be able to get a replacement, or an electronic version so I can recreate it? That little piece of printed vinyl kept some really good memories…

    Any information I can get would be appreciated.
