Al Papik Field Dedication

On Saturday the whole family gathered together at Doane College for the renaming of the football field.  It was very special since they renamed the field the Al Papik field after Drew's Grandpa. 

Al was a legendary football coach at Doane and had much success on and off the field.  It was so neat to see family, friends and his old players come together to celebrate the new Al Papik football field.




 It was a beautiful day for a football game!  We even got to watch Ray (Drew's Dad) coach at the game.  He currently helps coach the Doane football team.
 

Drew and I especially enjoyed our trip back to Doane since it is where we met 12 years ago.  We got a chance to tour around campus with our dear friends and walk down memory lane.  Ron, Drew and I all went to Doane together.  It was extra special to have Megan (Ron's wife) and their two girls with us!  We took a picture of the boys outside of Frees Hall where they met freshman year. 
 

It was such a fun day to celebrate Al and all he has done for Doane College.  I loved going to back to a place I love so much!
