The Director of Information and Technology, Tom Sliker, here at Trout University and his assistant Tommy have been working diligently to reorganize the TroutU web site so they decided to take a short vacation trip over the Memorial Day weekend. They went to the beautiful Pisgah National Forrest in Western North Carolina and spent some fun times at the Sliding Rock waterfalls.
