First Day of School memories?

[azskyman]

Only one in our family that I can remember. Jason was starting at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL. That was a 4 1/2 hour drive from home.

He was anxious and he was ready to go...he knew who he was rooming with. And his girlfriend was going to school there too.

Anyway...dropped him off, said our goodbyes, wished him well and drove home.

As we just got in bed after that drive, got a call from the hospital in Charleston IL (home of EIU). Jason had been admitted to the hospital emegency room with a separated and dislocated shoulder from playing street football. His first day on campus. His first four hours on campus!

We left him in the hands of his roommate for a week, but then drove down the following week to see how he was doing.

Not a nice phone call after making it all the way home.

Somehow he survived. Class of 1995 from EIU.
