This past Tuesday evening, the newly (and finally!) restored dining room was returned to usefulness with a grand gathering of ten folks for dinner. This included the folks visiting this week from Oklahoma, but it was also a chance to also bring in some of the faithful regulars of the Roediger House. The extra special addition was the appearance of Bradley Phillis, who could be counted among the RoHo regulars from his time as one of my graduate students in 2006-2007 up until he married and left to go into a PhD program at UT-Knoxville. I'm always glad when he can pop back in for a visit.
It was the grand usual spread, which appears here for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Thanksgiving on the Half-Year (at Memorial Day):
