For "Throwback Thursday" we dig out the ol' scrapbook and share this article for the groundbreaking at IPFW from the October 19, 1962 edition of the Fort Wayne Journal - Gazette. By the way.... Hofer and Davis provided the survey for the Foundation when they purchased the property.

Hey Hey Hey!!! It's Wall of Fame Wednesday Baby! This is the artist's sketch of Kettler Hall from the FORT WAYNE JOURNAL -GAZETTE on January 1, 1963. BTW... Hofer and Davis did the boundary surveying for the Foundation when they purchased the property at State Road 37 and Coliseum.... and the Fort Wayne (IPFW) Mastodons had their biggest basketball victory last night beating Indiana University (Ranked #3 in the country) in overtime at The War Memorial Coliseum! Congrats to the "Dons"!
