The renovations sound awesome and long overdue! I remember going to visit the DZ suite in the Fall of 2003 when my daughter was looking at colleges. I felt like I was in a time warp. I graduated in the mid 70's and the suite looked almost exactly the same! I lived in one of those single, pullman rooms next to the kitchen for a year of my 3 years in Amos Hall and had my dresser in the little hallway. It's about time that the university gave us some upgraded appliances. As for the security, I thought it was great! We called the older blond lady that manned the desk "the Honey lady". I can't recall her name now, but she sure remembered all of us like a grandmother and knew everyone and their guests by name. Since we were on the second floor, I didn't have to contend with the elevator that much, unless moving in. I remember coming back from the Pitt-Navy game one Saturday afternoon followed by a line of Navy cadets who were "on leave" until the bus left the next day. One of my sisters stopped at the desk, wrote her name under "Resident", and then wrote "The US Navy" under "Guest"!! The honey lady just laughed and watched all of the fine young men in their dress uniforms follow us up the stairs. I'll have to visit sometime this Fall and see it? Also...what was too good to be true???
