In Boalsburg On Memorial Day

Boalsburg is one of many places claiming to be the first to celebrate Memorial Day.

"Local historians in Boalsburg, PA, claim that ladies there decorated soldiers' graves on July 4, 1864 As a result, Boalsburg promotes itself as the birthplace of Memorial Day."

Regardless of the Providence of the Holiday, Alumni Singlets* were sighted at this year's celebration, as Ryan Foster placed 2nd and Matt Groves placed 7th in the 4-Miler. There is also confirmation that Matt barely missed a hole-in-one this past weekend, garnering his first-ever birdie in Man's Most Difficult Game.  It took him all of 2 weeks to surpass my 38 years of golfing futility!  Congrats all around.

PSU Track Alumni Golfers Ryan and Matt return to their first sport.

* There will be a new drive for alumni singlet orders soon, right here on the blog with it all.  And maybe a surprise for those reluctant to get a singlet.  (And no it's not an Alumni Moo-Moo, although I'm getting close to needing that!)
