WuShock in the Rockies?
Dear The Shocker:
As a volunteer at Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs, Colo., I noticed one of the rock formations in the park looks intriguingly like WuShock. I decided I had to share this find with fellow Shockers. As a lifetime member of the wsu Alumni Association, I decided, Where better than The Shocker? I have enclosed my best picture of his likeness.
Can you see it?
Best regards,

Shocker Football
Dear Editor:
I wonder if any of your readers remember halfback Harold Brill’s remarkable return of the second half’s opening kickoff of the 1938 game against Army? It looked as though “King Harold” would score, but he was tossed out — another step and he would have made it. At the time, this remarkable romp was shown on nationwide newsreels at theaters everywhere.
Best wishes and yours,

Ten New Things
Dear The Shocker:
The article [“Her Corner of the World,” fall 2002] about my colleague Abiola Dipleou was excellent! I’ve worked with Abiola for several years — and I still learned 10 new things about her. Thank you!

A Shocking Error
Dear Editor:
I noticed an error in The Shocker [fall 2002] on page 41 in a sports brief about a current Shocker volleyball player. It was noted that the team is “coming off their best finish since the 1988 season — a tie for seventh.” I played for the Shockers from 1990-94, and we finished higher than seventh in the conference in 1991, 1992 and 1993. In 1992 we had the best record ever for a Shocker volleyball team (24-8), and we finished tied for third in the conference.
I take great pride in being part of those successful teams, and I was disappointed to see this error.
