Foxes everywhere: Reuniting with an old friend


The last time I had seen Donald Godwin was at our wedding: 23 years ago. So it was a true blessing to connect with him for a few hours on Monday night. Donald was a track/xc teammate of mine at Marist, a former housemate, a fellow Class of 1986 alum – and mostly, an old dear friend whose path and mine have gotten lost and scattered with the relentless march of time. Donald has worked at the University of San Diego (what a beautiful campus!) for the past decade. He is the assistant vice president and dean of students at the nationally recognized Catholic university. Donald remains true to his Catholic vocation and faith – he was a Marist Brother for four years in the late 1980s – and he seems to truly enjoy living life in the paradise called San Diego. We were able to catch up on our lives a bit and make up for lost time. Again, a true blessing!
