Please join us Thursday night, January 20, at 6:00 in the Hall of Champions for the book-signing and publication party to introuce "In Honor of the Mustangs: The Centennial History of SMU Athletics, 1911-2010." Parking will be available in the Meadows Museum Garage. Among those present to sign autographs will be Lance McIlhenny, great quarterback from the Pony Express days, Chuck Hixson, record setting quarterback in the late 1960's, legendary photographer Brad Bradley, who along with his father-in-law Jim Laughead, covered the Doak Walker and Kyle Rote years, Bobby Mills and Larry Showalter, who were starters on SMU's 1956 Final Four basketball team that featured All-American Jim Krebs, Ira Terrell, outstanding basketball player for the Mustangs in the middle 1970's, Lisa Cole Zimmerman, who was a prolific scorer and an All-American in women's soccer, and the unbelievable great swimmer for the Mustangs, Martina Moravcova. I feel sure that there will be others there who will also be available for autographs. If you bring your cameras I am sure that all of these people will be glad for you to take pictures. This is a wonderful way to enter SMU's Centennial celebration and we hope you will join us.
It would be helpful in our planning if you would RSVP by email to [email protected].
