I’m loving these stories.   Growing up Utica we didn’t have much, but as far as we knew at the time, we had everything.    We were a Syracuse, Yankees, giants family.  So it was in my blood from the time I was a kid.   Cousin played on 1984 team that beat Nebraska. My first game ever in dome.

Father a fireman, mother ended up getting job at Utica college in my freshman year of high school.  One of her benefits was free tuition at Syracuse (Utica college was part of Syracuse at the time) after three years of employment. My sister and I Applied to one school and one school only.  I was first in family to go to college.    And the rest as they say is history.  Met wife there and as mentioned in another thread just dropped off my youngest there on Monday 38 years to the day I stepped foot on campus.   She’s loving it.    (Oldest is at Cornell, Air Force rotc, she wants to be doctor, nonstop driven kid, never takes break or shortcut in anything - super proud of her in spite of the Cornell students that used to tell us we’d work for them someday during basketball game blowouts in the late 80’s/90’s, which came true in my case.  )
