Memories of Princeton

I enjoyed this piece and never knew about the world record sprinting. One of the members of our class, an American, said that it was essential to learn something about American football. As a Brit, a visiting mid-career student, I welcomed the opportunity to view it live — with family members too. The game seemed hard to follow — but then so does our cricket and various forms of rugby; and our football is completely unlike that in the U.S.  Your article took me back to 1987-88 and the generous welcome so many Americans offered our family over the course of an amazing year.
