On your morning drive into campus, you may have noticed that the gate light has been replaced. Thanks to Phil Otterman's hard work and creativity, the gate light which broke seven years ago after being struck by a tree, has been restored to it's former glory. The light originated in England and is thought to be from the 1920's or 1930's. Phil found the pieces in various locations on campus, put them together and made replacement parts for those which could not be found. The light was sandblasted and painted and installed at the begining of June, just in time for Kingfest. If you haven't noticed it yet, slow down as you drive in and check out Phil's handiwork.
