Introduction
Fondest Queen's Memory: Crisp fall days crossing campus to Botterell Hall or sitting in the stands at football games. The “bus smell” which meant road trips with the band, rowing team or ski club. And lastly finding the best “underground” spot to study (Douglas stacks, Jeffery Hall) or let loose (the pub).
