My dear friend Cathy just blogged about college memories and "being free to do what you want when you grow up" So I thought I would blog about some college stuff too.
My college roommate Kelly, lost her father to cancer last week. I met Dick Devine the last weekend in August 1981. He was a fun loving guy and I remember how he paid the band to stay longer at Kelly's wedding. At the funeral there were photos of his life and I feel honored to say there was a picture of the two of us dancing at that wedding! Kelly has a wonderful family. Her parents were so "cool" and so open and inviting. I spent weekends at her home throughout college. We were both special Education majors and had many classes together. She is a true, good friend and when we get together each summer, our kids love spending time together.
I didn't mean for this to be a sad blog. I am nostolgic for those innocent days of college when we would dance in the hallways when our friend Lisa would play all our favorites at the Marywood College radio station. Whenever I hear those 80's tunes I think of that crazy dancing and making popcorn and enjoying being girls who were studying to be teachers, musicians, dieticians, nurses or the next business mogul.
Say a prayer for Kelly and her family. Dance this weekend! Whether it's out in public or in your home to a stupid old radio tune! But dance and love life. Dick Devine will be very happy!
