MSM-UMR alumni were well represented at the Ozark MSPEShrimp Feed as roughly 50 Miners were part of a crowd of nea rly 2000 people at the 60th annua l MSPE even t held at Fantastic Caverns near Springfield, Mo. Joe Miner lapel stickers were in great demand and the supply of 40 was quickly depleted. The annual shrimp feed MSPE fundraiser attracts everyone remotely related to engineering and construction in Springfield and surrounding areas. Many come from as far away as St. Louis and Kansas City. A significant number of MSM-UMR alumni in the area (and outside the areal attend, making it a great opportunity for personal reminiscences and professional networking. The "a ll you can eat" shrimp and liquid refreshment added to the fun. This was the first time the shrimp feed has been utilized as an alumni event - but the response was great and there seems to be interest in trying it again. For those who didn't get your Joe Miner lapel sticker - we'll have them at the next event. See you there I
