Terre Haute North Athletic Director is going into the Indiana Sports Hall of Fame, and her co-workers made sure she heard it with some fanfare. Friends and co-workers threw a surprise party Friday afternoon after school. People crouched in hiding and passed along her whereabouts by walkie-talkie while others gathered and waited. Think spy movie, minus the trench coats.
