Lafayette, Indiana

Greg and I spent four days in Lafayette, Indiana, where Matt and Claire and their two sons live. Matt is currently working on his graduate degree at Purdue University. Matt, Claire and Theo recently welcomed Luc into their home and Greg and I were so happy to be present as Luc was blessed on March 16. Luc is such a delightful baby and we enjoyed holding him whenever we could. Theo is two years old and loves discovering new things! It's so fun to watch him get so excited when he is exploring the world around him. We were able to tour the very first fire station in Lafayette, which was built in 1921. Theo loved climbing into one of the old fire trucks and ringing the very loud bell. Coincidently, Greg brought Theo a "Fireman's" outfit from Virginia, which consisted of a raincoat, hat and matching boots. Theo definitely looked the part!

Theo...what a cutie!


Luc couldn't take his eyes off of Grandpa


Sweet Luc


Fireman Theo looking cool


Taken at Luc's blessing. It was fun to see Claire's parents, as they also made the trip to Lafayette.

I am looking for a Greg Allen who was a cheerleader at Purdue in 1983-84. There is a reunion of all former cheerleaders this year and we can not locate him. If I have the right person, please contact me at teckel@earthlink.net Tom Eckel '75
