    Blue Mountain was always my home away from home. I have a lot of good memories. And even though I didn't graduate I still keep in touch from time to time. 99% of the people I came in contact with made me feel loved and I knew they cared about me, my education but most of all my relationship with GOD. I love and miss them all very much. No one had ever heard of Blue Mtn. where I'm from ( which was just a few miles down the road) but I guarantee you anybody who knows me knows about BMC. Go Euzelians!!!!!!!!!!!!!
