Fatty - KSU's Durland Hall
« on: January 24, 2014, 04:12:04 PM »
Naturally, the online edition of the Manhattan Mercury doesn't have it loaded, but my print copy tonight has an article about the new Durland Hall Computer Lab, made possible by donations to the A Khatib family after Fatty's death, and his brother's.
Photo in the paper shows his great quote on the wall: "Good people deserve good things, if just for a day."
I didn't know him - feel like I did, however, after lurking here for years - but you guys at goEMAW.com helped add more than 20 new computers, chairs, 2 printers and work stations to our elite College of Engineering.
Good job, goEMAW. You all worked to make KSU a better place for students.  :cheers:

I think the actual quote was "Good people deserve computers, if just for a few hours"

It's on the front of themercury.com right now.  Can't read the article but I don't think it's anything different than that KSU Foundation (?) stuff from a few months ago that's in a thread somewhere on here.

Easy to raise a ton of money when you're an eighth grader in your mom's basement.

I'm never against us figuratively (or literally, do whatever you want) blowing each other, but I think the computer lab was all Alkhatib family, separate from the Fatty Fund money we're raising.  Could be wrong.  :dunno:

from the foundation: http://www.found.ksu.edu/donors-advancing-k-state/2013/Alkhatib.html
nothing about goEMAW?!?!  What gives?  :surprised:

"blogging friends" is obviously goEMAW  :D
Why couldn't they at least mention goEMAW by name.  Especially if they did use the Fatty fund towards the donation.
