I was a student and got a job in Duke's dept for the summer. I helped move the administration building stuff into the new ad-min building. I worked with Duke, Jim Labish and a few other fellas. Duke was so much fun to be around, always laughing and joking but doing a stellar job. Eventually I worked in the athletic dept. and Duke would come into the weightroom in the evening which was always fun because he was really into it and he was always smiling that great smile he had. I was very fortunate to have spent time around Duke Aden, I really liked that guy and so did everyone else.
