Oswego
Memories
Most are funny, Some are very embarrassing.....
When I transferred up to Oswego in the fall of 1995 I had no idea that I would meet a group of people who would have such an impact on my life. Within days we formed a group, my suite of 6 girls and the suite next door of 6 guys. I think the year I spent with them was probably one of the best of my life. I look back on it now and shake my head at some of the funny things that happened. And I am so glad I was able to experience those crazy memories with that particular group of people. There are a few that I have not spoken to in a while and others I talk to on a day to day basis. But I know that I will never, ever forget any of them for as long as I live.
Back in February of 1999, I wrote an email to the people I still keep in touch with and I asked them to add whatever events they could remember and it turned out to be a success. It seems that all the drinking and other stuff we did, didn't affect our memories.
So for those of you who were there on the 3rd Floor of Onondaga and for those of you who weren't, here are some of the highlights of 1995-1996 at Oswego....
