Boeing Brown visited us in July 2011. We actually kept a daily diary but a crash of my computer server in between back-ups cost us the entries. We are going to summarize that entry here.
- Passing drills at White Salmon high school
- White water rafting departing at Zoeller’s on the White Salmon River
- Lunch at Everybody’s Brewery
- Hike at Tamanawas Falls including this Tamanawas Falls Movie of the falls.
- Attending White Salmon Arts & Wine Fusion Festival
- Visit to Seattle Including:
- Seattle Mariners game (Seattle lost 3-1)
- Museum of Flight
- Visiting the Capozzis (Heidi, Brian, Ella, and Julia)
- Visiting Tabitha and Rich Colie and dinner at Zeke’s
- Visiting the Future of Flight Aviation Center
- Getting a tour of the Boeing Everett plant to see B-747, B-777, and B-787 jets being assembled
- Visiting the Boeing Store
- Lunch at Pike Brewing Company
- Touring Pike Place Market, Seattle Space Needle, and the Rock Museum
- Flying the AR Parrot quadricopter
- Working out in the Sliwa gym
So it was an action-packed visit. Boeing was a rising High School junior and while visiting Notre Dame reached out to him and several entries on UConn and Northwestern forums discussed the prospects of recruiting him for football.
