That is so wonderful about the connections you made there during your time spent there. Sounds like some very long term and meaningful connections. That’s is what is so powerful about university, the people you meet, the long term relationships built. One of my college classmates was Colin Thatchers son Greg, nice and polite but brooding (Google him) , and another classmate, who i actually met before college at a Rotary sponsored leadership camp in high school and we took the same program in University, graduated together, eventually became a Premier in Sask, Brad Wall.First year of BSC I went there. It was an amazing place. Nice people, more nice people, and quite a lot of nice people. I think I met as many people in one year at Concordia than anywhere else. It was a real community. Was a good place to go straight out of high school. U of A in comparison is pretty sterile and not at all a community. Just too large. Half the people I hung around with or studied with at U of A were from Concordia. Packs of us kept in touch and stayed together. Several people from Concordia I knew years later and they even went to our Wedding. Friends for life except most people moved on to other Cities, countries. Lots of people did really well.
This just for a laugh but when I signed up to go to Concordia couldn't help but think the Old building, Schwermann Hall, looked a bit like Faber college from Animal House which was out around that time. But I didn't throw any beer kegs out windows. Honest.
And Kegs, why would you toss a a fully functional beer keg?? Just empties, right Drai?
Dean Wormer…Food fight!! This and FastTimes are two of my go-to movies (and most Bill Murray early work).
I admit, I’m a simple man.
