Please go onto DFW's Hoya Saxa site and read the story about the founding of the Tombs 50 years ago. It captures the essence of life at Georgetown and the unique opportunity the University offers to prospective students. If that article is not sent to every potential recruit and their parents, the Hoyas are failing to tell their very special story. www.hoyasaxa.com/sports/football.htm

Our class ('66) was the first to experience the charms and ambiance of the Tombs (and'89) for all four years. The high and the mighty used to frequent the 1789, as one night coming out of the Tombs we encountered Robert Kennedy and family after a night out. There was a club on the 2nd storey, which, if my memory is correct, was for senior students and was dedicated to mostly mixed drinks (drinking laws in DC were beer and wine for 18 year olds and the hard stuff for 21 year olds). I forget the name of the club.
My next door neighbor on Long Island was a relative of Mr. McCooey, so I knew about the restaurant even before I enrolled in the fall of 1962.
