Another PIKE Champion


Happy Good Friday and Easter Weekend to friends of the Wisdom of the Warrior BLOG!

One of the benefits of flying a few domestic Delta trips is the ability to connect with old friends. Earlier this year I was in Fort Lauderdale and got to catch up with Dave Bovenzi. Like Murphy, Bovenzi and I shared working out at a high intensity in common. We used to drive across town to a Gold's Gym at all hours of the day and night to lift weights heavier than we had business lifting.

Dave was a great friend from the dorms Freshman year - with his Mel Gibson look and all. He became a great PIKE, took over the presidency of the fraternity from me and was an excellent leader and a dominant athlete in our Greek competitions. Shortly after college Dave defeated cancer.

Dave's success continues today as a lead dispatcher for Spirit Airlines, proud husband and father. It was great to catch up with him and his son, Giovanni.

I know he will kill me for this picture of him from the dorms circa 1988.
