Grand Adventure to the National Championship: The Metzger family

/ in / 0 Comments / by:

The Metzgers traveled to Phoenix, Arizona to cheer on our Clemson Tigers at the National Championship! On the way we had to stop by the Grand Canyon — after all National title…National Monument, it just goes together. Along with many others, we donned our Clemson Orange to witness one of the great world wonders, and although the game didn’t have the outcome we hoped for the Clemson Spirit was strong!

Chiang Mai, Thailand: Anne Goldsmith Cook '79

While on vacation in Thailand on December 31, 2015, my mind was certainly on what was about to happen in the Orange Bowl half a world away. In Chiang Mai, there is a Tiger preservation center called Tiger Kingdom, so it seemed appropriate to pay a visit. The tigers were amazing though the workers there were somewhat baffled by my Tiger rag. Between my determination to visit the tigers and to get up at 4 a.m. to listen to streaming radio of the Orange Bowl, I am pretty sure my friends thought I was crazy. But I’m also sure that my father David Goldsmith (Class of ’49; 1928-1989), who could never get through the Alma Mater without tearing up, was smiling down!
