My favorite Grand Valley memory is forming a singer-songwriter trio in 1976. We performed around campus, singing some favorite songs from the mid-70's. Then, we started writing our own tunes - my English background served me well:)

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is taking a class with Professor Kurt Bullock. His class was the most challenging I took at GV, but in a good way.

One of my favorite memories from Grand Valley was being a part of the GVSU Dance Troupe. I had never taken any type of organized dance classes prior but soon fell in love with the art of dance. I still dance both recreationally and competitively today.
