In retrospect I think that's because after that season, I was a more visible crazy and involved with ticket distribution etc. It was like actually meeting the people involved with the program and being part of this little off shoot made it different.
Throaty, you know what I'm saying?
I think in my head I divide it up into "waiting to be at Duke" (life thru 1994 spring in my case), at/around Duke (1994-2004), and "since I left" (2004-). I was never really as involved as you or Ed--only 2 years on committee and never in a leadership role. I think I was a lot less visible in the sense that I was the guy with the beard, but I doubt anybody in the program other than Sobb knows my name, maybe Laurence.
