2008 Rube Goldberg

Hello friends! I am going out of town for our Austin event tomorrow (April 11th) and thought to leave you with this tid-bit about the 2008 Rube Goldbergs at LeTourneau. What, pray tell, is a Rube Goldberg you may ask? Well, although I went to LETU I had no idea either...a regular Rube Goldberg is a way of "complexifying" a very simple task, say, turning on a light but in FIFTY steps. An LETU Rube Goldberg is a challenge to our students to live up to this "complexifying". The competing students prep for weeks and we get to see it all go up in smoke, water and mayhem in a matter of seconds. Here are some great shots from today's Rube Goldbergs.

The Calm...

...after a Hootenanny Storm! It was an AWESOME Homecoming! We had a really great time, and will post photos soon! Both here and on the website.

Saturday night's Starlight Soiree was BEAUTIFUL...everyone came out dressed to the nines - the ladies looked lovely and the gentlemen were all very dashing, lending their coats when the breeze turned a bit colder. It was a reminder of a more genteel time when folks had good manners and getting together, just for the sake of getting together, was enough. We hope you will join us for Homecoming 2009 at LeTourneau (April 3 and 4, 2009).

In other GREAT news, Mr. and Mrs. Christian Lehman have welcomed Samuel Lehman into not only their hearts but also bless the LeTourneau family by allowing all of us to hold him and play with him! Samuel is a very, very good baby. :)
