What are they...
… doing? Yes, what are our Stedsmen doing now that they no longer have classes to attend, papers to procrastinate writing, nor any thing else for that matter, especially if they have graduated?! Having graduated many moons ago, Stedsmen Chris Wilson NDLS '08, Dr. Tej Mudigonda '10, Joe Meares '10 went hiking in the Green Mountains of Vermont and reignited their bonds of friendship forged at Steds back in the early 2000s. Despite being on in years, the three were able to accomplish a TWO hour hike with 3,000 foot of vertical climb. No small feat, especially when you consider that Chris was able to close a deal during the hike. Joe & Tej were freshman in the hall during Fr. Ralph’s first year as rector, while Chris Wilson was one of Father's first assistant rectors. On the hiking and reminiscing, Meares shared, "Although many things have changed since then, one thing remains constant: Gentlemen stick together and push each other to new heights, regardless of age or time spent apart!"
