I did it! I found the newest classmate in the octet known as the Colorado Eight! Will Piersol in the red shirt, joined by nearest classmate Taylor Watts and me. Sunny and 70 as usual at lunchtime...
Will had some great stories about his time in Singapore, Taiwan and Japan but the family decided the time was right to live back in the US. So great to have him nearby...
Will recalled how in 1978-79 he was touring schools as part of the admission process and visited DA during the winter term. When he arrived on campus in the fall of 1979 to start 9th grade he asked, where are the girls? Turns out his parents never mentioned that DA was all-male, and he assumed that since he saw girls on campus (Emma Willard exchange!) during his tour it was coed. Way to stick it out Will!!!
