I wish that I had. Joe was a wonderful prof and a family friend. He came from Knoxville UT where my step father taught in the English Department.

I look forward to the details of your journey.

They could had easily put the ATM either to the left or right of it, or on a different wall. Sigh. Good luck in your hunt for it! I noticed a few years ago they found the old "State college branch" metal sign and stuck it on the front of the building. Would be great if they could do the same for this!
