Stockton Sentiments and Memories . . .

"In a few short weeks, it will be 50 years since I walked through the doors of the Mayflower Hotel on the famed Boardwalk of Atlantic City. Little did I know that I was embarking upon the adventure of a lifetime. We were promised an education like no other, and Stockton lived up to that promise as far as I am concerned. Where else would freshmen be on a first-name basis with the president, vice president and many of the professors at the college within the first month? Several classes had no books, where just about every session was in the field. Field trips out to the 200-fathom line to take bottom core samples or studying the coastline from Cape Cod to the Bay of Fundy were the norm. Before returning to campus from a field trip, we often stopped at Louie's for a quick sandwich and a beer. One of my extracurricular accomplishments was starting the soccer club on the beach in Atlantic City, watching it grow into an NCAA sport and be the only national championship team in Stockton's history."
