Today, I stood and strolled on my dad’s college Alma mater!
I am in Greensboro, North Carolina for a few days and the first place I had to go was Guilford College. It is such a beautiful campus, exactly what you think a college campus should look like. Older buildings, lots of green grass and lots of trees scattered throughout the campus and open walkways to each building.
I will admit, it was not easy to find the bookstore, but I did and got my dad some treats and something for myself, of course! The weather is a bit toasty, but it was so nice under the trees to walk around and just reflect. And daddy, I still couldn’t find the library!
The college was started in 1837 by Quakers, or ‘friends’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quakers. My dad went to Friends Select in Philadelphia, http://www.friends-select.org/, which was a Quaker school as well, is there a theme going here?
One of the coolest things about my dad, and there are SO many, is that he was part of the group that started the soccer program at Guilford College! How cool is that?
It really was awesome to be able to walk some of the same paths that my dad took, I felt very close to him!
