August!

I can't believe it is August already! I could swear not to know where the summer went, but the many miles added to my car is evident of all the recruiting, vacationing, and professional development adventures I had!

Two highlights of the summer:

• Visiting the Boone Historical Museum where Meg Huey ('12, 2011-2012 co-captain) interned this summer. Meg showed me around the museum and told me all about her exhibit of Iowa bomb shelters from during the Cuban Missile Crisis. She was very knowledgeable about Boone and its most famous resident, Mamie Eisenhower.

• Traveling to Mankato, MN and Kearney, NE for recruiting events and stopping by their Saturday morning farmer's markets. What is better than great basketball and great, fresh, produce!
  

I've had a great summer! Recruiting has been successful thus far and I've had a chance to think about basketball and our team a lot! I've also gotten away from Grinnell for some wonderful vacation time! I'm ready for the students to return and for fall to come to Iowa!

Only 10 mores weeks until the season begins!
