Walking into that first reunion felt like coming home. Faces I hadn’t seen in twenty years, and it was as if no time had passed at all.
The branch gave my children a link to where I grew up and gave me a network of Old Boys I now count as close friends.
From cricket on a summer afternoon to helping the college back home, being part of this is a privilege. Quis Ut Deus.
