Graduation 2015

The Class of 2015 is out the door - Tyler, Jackson, and Shelby graduated on a beautiful (but shockingly cold) spring day last weekend.  These three have been key members of our team for the last 4 years, and it won't be the same without them - we'll miss not only their leadership and hard work, but also the fun and friendly atmosphere that they all brought to the team.  A few other things we'll miss:  Shelby's Alex Harvey obsession, live tweets at team meetings, and extensive knowledge and appreciation of 80s music; Tyler's rock solid van driving ability (Van Driver Hall of Fame inductee), mad foosball skillz, and awe-inspiring displays of power on the erg; Jackson's affinity for whale guts, bad-but-improving facial hair, and ability to ski fast after a grueling training regimen of bird-chasing.  And, of course, we'll miss their basketball skills - the average basketball ability level of our team just went WAY down...  Fortunately, we can count on seeing all three of them again in the not too distant future.  Jackson is cuttin' brush and ropin' steers on a ranch in Wyoming, but should be back in Maine in the fall.  Shelby is shaping young minds at Berwick Academy.  And Tyler is working on a GIS research project over in Topsham - mapping or modeling or carbon dating or some such nonsense.  So we'll undoubtedly cross paths with these guys again soon.  For now, congratulations and good luck, graduates!
