The club fair has been held in the same place ever since I arrived here. I was accosted from all sides by flyers and food at this thing. I was looking for some club I would be interested in, some activist club. Back then I was something of a protest nut. I stubled across Brian Benedict. he got me interested in the Young Democrats. He became my mentor from that day until his graduation. In many ways he still is. he invited me to a meeting, he has me sign up. and that day I had a message in my inbox from him. To this day the earliest dated message in my inbox is from him. He made me love this university in a way i never thought was possible. he told me about the way he felt about the university, how he felt like a part of it. how every building held significance for him. How every spot on campus held some memory for him, good or bad, that shaped who he is today. I have that now. He told me his memories. I tell you mine.
