I never tire of meeting Southern Miss people. Just this past week, as I was grabbing a quick breakfast before the IHL Board meeting in Jackson, a gentleman introduced himself to me as a proud member of our alumni family. I wish I had gotten his contact information, but he told me he keeps up with this blog, so this one's for him.
A few minutes after our brief conversation, another alumnus stopped by my table to say hello. I was reminded of what close kinships we form through university affiliations. We may not see each other every day, but when we do get together--whether it's at a coffee shop, a symphony performance, or a major university event--we always have something in common to discuss.
