... So good to be at Ken's Senior Graduate Dinner

This week the whole family is in New Haven for Ken's commencement. It seemed only like yesterday that we were stepping into Yale for the first time. It is a clique but time has flown by so quickly. 

We had the squash seniors dinner last night and each of the seniors gave their reflections of the 4 years together. Coach Dave Talbott acknowledged the seniors for their achievements on and off the courts. The class have had 4 good years - two Ivy League titles, two national finals, being the team that broke Trinity's 252 match winning streak. But more so were the bonds of friendship that has been fostered over that time with the team mates and even the families. It has indeed been a great 4 years for the bunch of boys young men.

Ken shared on his meeting with Gareth in Seattle and his first experiences at Yale - falling asleep whilst playing video games because of jet  lag, the captain struggling with the 3 internationals and their peculiar accents, the introduction to beer pong, the first fitness training. Recalling the incident in his first national finals and the various key matches in the four years of college squash. It has been an eventful but enriching journey. And as they leave the (relatively) safe enclave of New Haven and Yale to venture into the big new world of New York, we are filled with mixed emotions  of gratitude, pride, apprehension and excitement. Life has been great!
