It’s hard to believe that it has been 50 years since I graduated from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. 50 years. Hey, time really flies. I had not been back for earlier reunions, but I was amazed at the number of old college classmates that I remembered and recognized. It was three days of receptions, lectures, dinners and getting reacquainted again. The highlight of my return to Tar Heel country was to participate in the graduation ceremonies on Sunday morning at Kenan stadium with some 50,000 students and family members all in attendance. You can check me out at the ceremonies below.
I drove around Chapel Hill to reacquaint myself with old memories and see all the changes over these many years. Check out the house below at 306 Church Street. This is the vary house I rented during my junior and senior years. And guess what? Except for a fresh coat of paint, the house hasn’t changed a bit in 50 years.
It was 50 years ago last Saturday that I won the Atlantic Coast Conference hurdles championship at UNC. This hurdle below really looks intimidating. I’d have a tough time getting over it today. But fond memories of long ago.
After graduation, I drove up to the Appalachian Mountains for a few days. My therapy three or four times a year. And I always stop for a while at my mountain. Do you have your own mountain? I sure like mine.
