Learfield intern runs with the bulls

Learfield’s Tom Brandt is spending this summer in Karri Ball’s Finance Group helping implement our new e-expense system, but just last year the MU student was in Barcelona Spain studying abroad.  He bussed up to the small city of Pamplona to participate in the famed "Running of the Bulls".  Here are a couple of pictures of the kid in the middle of the pack just ahead of any goring.

He tells us that he taped his blood type and other pertinent info to his thigh.  And, he prerecorded a "good bye" to his mom–also just in case.  But he made it without a scratch owing in some part to his sobriety, he says, "Most of those who are injured or killed drink all night."  The 7:00 a.m. run through the narrow streets is covered live on TV. 14 have died in the annual July event since it began in 1914.  Over 200 are injured each year–usually by falls.
