Most Memorable York University Experience	Hanging out with Sue and Paul Culliton and Sue Whitig in classes and after class in the coffee shops/pubs.

Graduation Day was wonderful as the University pulled out all the stops.
York University Anecdote or Highlight	Working with frogs in the Biomechanics lab to see first hand how a stretched muscle performs better than a tight muscle. It was one of those 'aha' moments when I actually could visualize the difference and recognize the benefits of stretching.
