What's new since your last visit

Michael Linton sent a link to his original music called, "Double Cyclone". 
The sounds will take you back to the "good old days" of the Pike. 
(Scroll down until you get to Selected Compositions and then pick #1 Double Cyclone):
Click here http://www.mtsu.edu/~music/linton.html if you'd like to listen to it while visiting the Pike web site.

Webmaster Note:  In the 9 years that I've managed The Pike Web Site,  I've had 3 computers crash on me.  
If you've sent photos and/or stories that haven't been posted, it's likely they were lost in the crashes.
