...Uncle John himself was just the same, still striding into his doorless office at 7:30 a.m. to get ready for his callers, still plumping loudly for bigger & better Michigan State teams ("I see no harm at all in a big stadium, big field house, and big crowds . . ."), still puttering about his two-acre truck garden when he can find the time. He had some additional building ideas too. With the new dormitory finished, he was pestering the state legislature to get $3,000,000 for a new library...
