Hank's story begins in 19-dickety-two. He had to say "dickety" cause that Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty". He chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles…

I know I went there because I can read it on my Facebook, but honestly I don't have strong memories of the days on campus- maybe too focused on long nights mapping the human genome and whatnot?
