30 Jul 2012 – University of Florida
For the first time in the history of London, a non-British marching band performed on The Mall – just in front of Buckingham Palace. The University of Florida and the Gator Nation is truly everywhere!

The Gator Nation is certainly everywhere, even in the memory with Gator alumnus like Linn (1997/undergrad, 1998/Masters), Jeff (2000/MD) and May (2001/undergrad, no pix for this camera-shy daughter who completed her Masters in Norway). Way to go Gators. L&J’s 11yrs old dog is even named Gator. Amazing with all the years at UF and so proud of them 3 who attended with full scholarships and graduated by keeping their scholarships throughout! Those hours driving to Gainesville from Orlando (app 2hrs) to visit them are good memories!
