Our first stop on this road trip was Grand Fork, ND. We lived in Grand Forks for 37 years which is the longest time we have lived anywhere. We have not been back in a while mostly because of COVID,, but we were passing through on our way to Oregon. We both retired while working at the University of North Dakota. We had the opportunity to spend some time visiting with some of our friends from the Department of Psychology and spouses. It was great to have the chance to see these folks again.
The title for this post concerns the destruction of the building in which I spent 35 years of my career. This is an image of Corwin-Larimore which I took several years ago. Psych always seems to end up in some older building that was originally purposed in some other way. Corwin-Larimore as the name implies is actually a building that is a combination of a couple of buildings. One building was originally part of a different institution. It had been a dorm and when we moved had been a dormitory. Our individual offices were repurposed dorm rooms.
Here is the new version of the same photo. The university has drastically upgraded the campus which is no very impressive with multiple new buildings. Rather than a collection of buildings from different generations, the buildings all now match and many are linked (a great thing for the winters of North Dakota).
