• The reunion will be great because? Someone will undoubtedly tell my kids a very embarrassing story about me.
• What has been most memorable in my last ten years? Besides the obvious of getting married and having kids, the trip that Joanna and I took with Dave and Sonya Sherrell to Germany for Oktoberfest 2002 was outstanding. Now that I think about it, what I remember most about that trip is Dave picking fights with various Europeans in attempts to defend the honor of our respective wives. I (vaguely) remember Dave shoving a German guy just because he was talking to Sonya, and I have some video of him threatening a British man who was hitting on Joanna.
• Any stories you'd like to share: If you read Woody’s web site, you’ll see a story from Dave Sherrell about the time that Dave, Chris Marshall, and I threw paint on Beta. Having lived a Theta Chi for four years, I can think of plenty of similar stories (some of them are kind of foggy). However, I think of this one at least a few times every year because Dave won’t let me forget it. If Dave ever does forget it, you can count on Marshall* to bring it up again.

*Editor's Note: Marshall refers to Chris Marshall (Fall 1992), not Matt Marshall (Spring 1995) who assumed the nickname abandoned by Chris' graduation.
