What is your most amazing memory of Grand Rapids?
This is very difficult to answer. Immediately, the summer of 2002 yields the most positive memories. While waiting to move into a building on Division St., which is now the DAAC and Scavenger Hunt, I essentially camped out in a house with three other friends. I had nothing in my room but a mattress.
I spent the day time building bleachers at Houseman field, evenings causing a ruckus and weekend seeking out swimming holes.
