Thanksgiving memories

I'll never forget being ready to go home for Thanksgiving my sophomore year and Captain Hitchcock showing our combined class (I wasn't in his, but can't remember who my instructor was) THE KILLING FIELDS. Great movie, a bit depressing for a holiday. Anyways, being teenagers, we tended to whisper among ourselves about our upcoming leave and giggle at inopportune moments. Captain Hitchcock got steamed and laid into us pretty heavy about how lucky we were.
Ya know, he was right.

Thanksgiving memories
I stayed at school for 3 of the 4 Thanksgivings I was there. The ride home was just too far for my folks, I guess, and it was kind of fun as there were only a handful of us there. I can't remember what we did all day--probably homework and floor waxing. May played some ball or swam, too. The mess hall was fun, though, as with about 8-10 of us there they took good care of us.
Funny how something like that sticks in the tired brain after all these years. I do remember the snow, however.
