Remembering LeTourneau - Vintage '73

Very often, we get awesome insight into our LeTourneau heritage...here is a tid-bit from Walter W. Henry, Class of '73:

"The rule was to wear a tie for Sunday lunch. Mrs. Obetts was an older lady of the well mannered type who served as a lunchroom monitor. She also was very kind and had a great sense of humor. Some of our more extreme techos would slouch in on Sunday wearing a tee shirt and a tie. She would laugh and scold “You know the rule.” They would say “But the rule says wear a tie, and I HAVE a tie.” I think one fellow tried a tee shirt with a tie painted onto its front. They loved to bait her and hear her scold while she tried to be serious and she tried to not laugh.
I consider the dining experience a highlight of my time at LeTourneau."
