Fond Memories of BGSU Honors: All of my truly close friends were members of the Honors Program. Just about every memory of college I have involves the friends I made through the Honors Program. These people all had a tremendous impact on my life and I am still in touch with most of them on a regular basis. This includes my wife, who I see on a daily basis.
