The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Heritage Center, the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder's history museum, is launching a History Buffs group with a kick-off event on Wednesday, Feb. 24, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the third floor of Old Main.
University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ President John C. Buechner will open the event by introducing ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ historian and humorist William "Bud" Davis (PE '51, Ph.D. '63). Davis will give a talk on ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder history.
Davis is a former chancellor of Louisiana State University and served as head football coach, dean of men and alumni director while at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder. He is the author of "Glory ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥," a history of the university from 1858 to 1963, and is working on a follow-up to that book.
The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Buffoons will provide entertainment and light refreshments will be served.
The History Buffs are the museum's new financial support group and will help select and fund new acquisitions and special projects.
Guests are welcome. Admission is free although a $50 per person donation is suggested. For reservations and information contact Kay Oltmans or Nancy Miller at 303-492-6329.
