The story is really touching. I could definitely see why that would be one of your better birthday memories.
The history and heritage of your college really piqued my interest though, so I did a little digging. You'll often hear me say this a lot, but I don't regret a lot of things in my life, but one of my biggest was not investigating my colleges a little better. I am a very family oriented person, so something like the culture that is ingrained within Bryn Mawr sounds like something that would have suited me (well, the male/co-ed representation of it, anyway).
I went to Robert Morris, myself, and while I learned a lot, and the experiences were there, they were few and far between. I'm sure a number of other factors played into that, but on the whole, I don't think there's a really strong family based community like that. It's truly remarkable.
