7When ISU began planning the 90th Reunion last
fall, it was discovered nobody was saving the
long and rich history of Pharmacy in Idaho.
8During the reunion, we started talking about
beginning an institute, and who knows, perhaps
when we get together for the 100th Anniversary,
we might have our very own museum in place and
history well-preserved.
9In addition, we want to bring out some of the
history in conjunction with the opening of the
ISU Meridian Center. Perhaps become a part of
health care corridor Grand opening of ISU Center
is September 17, 2009.
