Banquet

Sorry for the lack of posting... I've been in a little bit of a funk since the loss. The banquet on Friday helped me to get closure, though.

Jess was the only senior there since Mo and Mistie are at their respective WNBA camps. She spoke very movingly about her time at Duke, and the video was very inspiring. G's best quote came from Kay Yow: "That which is delayed is not denied."

Pictures are up at goDuke.com.
