After spending the summer back at Witt and reading the blogs every morning, it is exciting to be on the journey and writing a blog of my own. I jumped in the van yesterday in St. Louis to meet Ashley, Ben and Tammy Proctor just a few hours before the event.

The crew seemed to be doing well, and while I thought Ben and Ashley would be exhausted, they were in good spirits. (Can you believe they have already lasted 3 weeks and still have 10 more days to go?!) When we got to Harry's, it was apparent I was with professionals. Before I could find the door to get out of the van, Ben and Ashley had the T-shirts, stickers and other giveaways dug out of the van; they knew where to find the wrinkle spray for their shirts and double checked if they needed the tide pen.

We had a great night meeting the St. Louis alumni and getting to hear about their Wittenberg experiences. As a follower of Witt Nation all summer, it was exciting to get to hear stories from alumni first-hand rather than through the videos. Meeting with the alumni, we talked a lot about how campus has changed over time; although buildings (and roads) may not be what they used to be, the people still have the same love for Wittenberg and realize what an incredible place it is.
