The Big Chill (GBE 68)
In 1981, I met a girl. Her name was Julia and she became my friend and partner in crime. We dated off and on for several years and ultimately parted. But during our first summer together I experienced one of the stranger cases of Deja Vu ever. Julia was a Biology major and she had received an internship at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Savannah, GA. During this time, I was working in Atlanta and didn't have many weekends available. Finally, I had a family wedding to go in Beaufort, SC, which is about 45 miles away from where she was. I managed to convince my boss I needed to go and to save money I decided to camp at nearby State Park. I ended up being joined on the trip by a couple of friends, Mike and Karl. They really weren't much of a bother (except for when Mike almost caught my tent on fire). The car trip had a couple of kinks in it, but we made it OK and we picked my lady up. We spent that night hitting the clubs in Savanna...
