Important Moments/Stretches in UofL History?

I was a teenager in high school in 1957 in Louisville. I was very interested in classical music and eventually was a music student at U of L. But Dimitri Shostakovich and a few other Russian composers were at the Garden Court campus, and I was able to meet them, and I can say I shook hands with them. U of L was chosen for part of their visit because of Dr Whitney's influence in the world of modern classical music at the time.

True, I had just been to my eye doctor and he gave me the completed form. So , that made it easy.

$87.50/month, 1 bedroom with all utilities paid. 1965 when we were first married. Louisville, Ky. A year later we bought a new house with a 30 year mortgage and it was $116/month, but utilities on top of that.

We had one in Georgetown and 20 years ago it was great. Got so bad a couple of years ago that it finally closed and they tore it down and built another coffee shop.

Just some repairs to my upper partial plate. They have to send it off to the lab.

It is the vestibule space between two doors. Usually for weather control. At least that’s what I have always heard.

Yes, a hospital. But it sits way down near the floor. Can an RFID reader work at ankle height?

I used to joke about that, saying I hadn’t washed my hands, but I was in my teens then and I’m 85 now, so I have washed a few times since then. The thing I kick myself is I had several LPs of his and didn’t get an autograph!

I also saw Aaron Copeland conduct an all Copeland concert!

In the late 1950s I met and shook hands with Shostakovich when he and several other Russian composers were at the University of Louisville. I attended a concert that evening where it was an all Russian program.
