UW Golf Team Reunion A Great Day II

Hello. What was interesting about Saturday was seeing what everyone had been doing in the time since graduation. Clyde ended up in Brockville, where my in-laws are. Jay has a son who works for Brian (we're really not that old are we?) at Brian's investment company. John is VP at Conestoga College in charge of continuing education. Bill and Jeff are doctors. And Doug has cut his hours at UW, but still has his hand in things.
Many of the guys still looked the same, with all of their own hair, which made me feel inadequate, as mine disappeared 15 years ago.
Many are married (or were), but some are still single. There were different family situations which some of us were envious of, but at the end of the day I think we'll all stay where we are with who we have.
What has definitely changed is how desirable UW is now for great golfers. With its outstanding reputation and co-op program, UW is now a viable alternative. Guys are realizing the degree they could get down south may not carry any weight when their golf career is over. Why spend more time up here to get the equivalent degree when you could get it here first?
Congrats Waterloo on getting a great program together, and remembering the past!

Regards,
Steve
