As many of you know Mike officially transferred over pstvalumni.com to me a few days ago. My goal for now is just to keep the site up and running until i can come up with some brilliant new ideas to make it a site people come to and use on a regular basis. This of course will have to wait until I take full ownership of all aspects of the site and have time to sit down and learn how it is all connected together in this artwork that Mike has created for us over the years. My request to you is for ideas; I need to know what features you would like the site to have in order to get you back here more often. The forums are a great way to stay connected but with the use of facebook and other social media outlets pstvalumni.com needs something MORE. So please let me know what you think the site needs by discussing it here. Also if you have a great idea and have a great way to implement it as well then I would love to hear that too! Thanks everyone and I hope to see you around the site soon!

PSTValumni.com is not dead yet. Ownership of the domain pstvalumni.com and the website itself has been transferred to Ryan Dillenbeck, class of 2006. Ryan plans to evigorate new life into this website and hopefully add some new features as well. Welcome Ryan, to the leadership role. This doesn't mean I won't still be around and helping out however is necessary.

The domain transfer is now complete. I am still donating my server space to host the website, where it may remain indefinitely, so there will be no interruption in service. It will take a little time to transfer control over the many different parts of the website to Ryan, and for Ryan to become familiar with how everything is currently set up, so users will likely not see any changes for a little while, but changes will come.

The cost of this transfer was zero dollars. I'm just happy that somebody else will be enthusiastically carrying on the PSTV Alumni torch.

More information will likely come to the forums soon (but that'll be up to Ryan now).

I received the following e-mail from Peter Ensel this morning...

I know many of you had interactions with Larry Cowan during your time at PSU. So, it's with great sorrow that I tell you of his death. Larry passed away Thursday in Missouri where he had been working as Vice President of Development at Central Missouri University. At Plattsburgh, Larry was a long time basketball coach and later, worked as Athletic Director and Director of Athletic and Corporate giving. In 2002 he left Plattsburgh to become Assistant VP of Development at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. before moving to Missouri last year.
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Coach Cowan, of course, was coaching the men's basketball team when PSTV first started carrying the games. He was also a frequent guest on Cardinal Sports, Sports Rap and other PSTV programs.

Belated congratulations to the Spring 2008 Sorrell Award winners for best PSTV promos.
