Lisa Moser, office manager for Academic Enhancement, came across a bit of ODU history recently when she and her husband were cleaning out the attic in a home they bought in Chesapeake's Western Branch section. In addition to an old ice cream maker and some vintage Christmas decorations, she discovered a 1965 Old Dominion College yearbook, 'The Troubadour.' An ODU employee only since April, Moser said she immediately recognized the school seal on the cover. She plans to donate the yearbook to the Perry Library Special Collections. Moser also found a 1961 William & Mary yearbook and a few yearbooks from Portsmouth’s old Cradock High School. Photo by Chuck Thomas
