Can't Wait For Saturday | And the winner is Stonington's Rich Covington

Can't Wait For Saturday | And the winner is Stonington's Rich Covington

By: Bob Asmussen

Rich later worked 24 years at Illinois. The place was also great to him personally. He met his wife Jill in 1971. She was working her way through school as a waitress at the old Viking Room at the top of the Ramada Inn. He was a busboy. They got married in 1973 two weeks after spring finals. That's coming up on 54 years and counting. Congrats to both.
