Quote:Interestingly, my Dad lived in Brooklyn for many years. He also took courses at Wagner College.  One of the stories I remember him sharing with me is that prior to the Verrazano Bridge being build,  the mode of transportation to get from Brooklyn to Staten Island was ferry service.   

 

 

Ah, the ferry. I think most people who commute to the school drive, but, the school requires almost every student to have at least 1 internship before graduating, and a lot of students will take the ferry into the city for that internship. I actually took an internship in Brooklyn. Had to take a shuttle from the dorms to the ferry, the ferry, and then a subway from the ferry terminal to a few blocks away from the office. Was quite a trip to make twice a week for a semester. <_<

 

Quote:A Wagner alum! Cool.

 

Wagner has often played Jacksonville University in football. I look for Wagner's results in the agate type every Sunday. 

 

Around here (Jacksonville) Wagner might as well be some sort of secret society.

 

Heh. I seem to remember looking up Jacksonville U while bored at school one night, and apparently its almost a clone of Wagner except down in Florida, if I remember. Kinda small school, big business and nursing programs, same school colors. Being a Jags fan, I regretted not just going to JU and being closer to the team. :confused: Was beyond awesome when Stanford signed with the Jags, of all teams. There was another guy who signed with him that year, but I didn't really know him, so that was less exciting. 

 

At least Wagner's quite a ways from Jacksonville, so being a secret society is explainable. I still live in NY and Wagner's basically a secret society up here too. <_< We should have a secret handshake or something.
