Our old offices in Carruth-O'Leary, since it was an old dorm, were on the same floor as the women's bathroom. We had all of the manuals in the shower part. We had the Paraphrasing shower stall, the Word Identification and the Sentence Writing manuals stored in the shower stalls.

There's also the story about one of the doctoral students who went into the office one day and said to Peggy Showalter, "There's a dead mouse in my office." Peggy had this little thing that she would use to clean out your computer mouse. So she said, "Just bring it down here and I'll clean it out for you." And the doctoral student said, "No, it's a dead live mouse!"

When Peggy first came to the institute, there was a young woman who was working as a secretary. One of the first things she told Peggy was that August was just really a slow month and that she would be so bored in August. The whole time that Peggy worked there, I think she continued to wonder when August was going to come.

All the years, you just knew that in March, the secretaries were not going to be there on Thursdays and Fridays because they would be gone wherever KU was playing (basketball) in the NCAA tournament.
