Bret's Journey, Day 12

Sunday, September 2, 2018.  Bret's roommate moved in, and we were able to meet him and his family. There were talks for parents, lunch for everyone, and an assembly where we were greeted by Union College's president, dean of first-year students, and recruiter. Union College was founded in 1795, and it has some interesting architecture, for more info see

Olin Hall has an observatory. This will be Bret's hangout, as it houses the environmental science, geology, and paleontology departments, collections, and labs.

 While we were driving around New England, Bret canoed around Lake George, went hiking and swimming, and spent each night camping on a different island as part of his pre-orientation Ironman trip. We said bye to Bret, as he joins the Union College Class of 2022. He continues with his orientation tonight and for the next two days, and then starts classes on Wednesday, September 5. Tonight we had a quiet dinner at Maureen's house. We prepped the van, and Randy packed to fly out.
