The celebration for our 50th anniversary continues. The University Bookstore is carrying copies of our anniversary anthology.

“It was 1972, 50 years ago. The high temperature reached 57 degrees, about average for April in Boone. It was not an average day on the Appalachian State University Campus, where Bob Cowan had assembled a team of what could be called a small group of rock and rollers, mavericks, entrepreneurs, and dreamers.”
