Day 12, 15 August: Boise, ID
I think we all really enjoyed the gathering with the BOISE ALUMNI GROUP. I admit to being a bit reluctant at first because I was very much looking forward to the downtime… off my feet. That changed when Tom got us to the brewery and we started talking to the members as they joined us. Sharing careers and finding a surprising number of crossovers. Like the 23rd Company officer Tes mentioned and the Classmate of Jack Renard, who was Dean of Admissions when I was Noms & Appts Officer ’83 to ’86. It was good to see some “younger” grads as well; ‘86 and ‘96.
Over the years, I’ve found most of my interaction has been with my Hardcore 24th Company brothers, then with fellow NAPSTERS, then Wrestling teammates, then those in the same Major, then other Classmates at large… recognize most names, even after 50 years – it was refreshing to meet other alumni in such a casual, friendly way… well worth a couple of hours sleep. 😴
