Wapella Man Wins Big at JW Hospital

Tim Mollet was the winner of the Illini Rug made by Margaret Finn at the Annual Employee Christmas Party at John Warner Hospital in Clinton Illinois.

Mollett, a 1988 graduate of Wapella High School stated "I am honored to receive such a beautiful rug. It will look good next to my Illini easy chair and Illini Ottoman"

When challenged as to the existence of the Illini Ottoman, Mollet cryptically replied, "Some call it a hassock, some a footstool, but this one is an Ottoman, and reflects the Empire of Illini Fan merchandise I have collected over the years. My Ottoman will be quite comfortable next to his new pall, the Illini rug.

Congratulations Tim, and rest assured, the Illini have not been walking over many opponents over the last few years, so you will not be alone in walking all over the Illini. On second thought, the Illini walked all over the Northwestern Football Wildcats at Wrigley last year. Go Illini!
