Miniium: Bridget Groble Stood Tall as Student Representative to the ODU Board of Visitors

By Harry Minium

Sailing is in Bridget Groble's blood. Her parents are both long-time sailors and she and her twin brother, Ray, have been sailing since they were five years old.

Like most twins, they are incredibly close. They went to school together, sailed together on Chicago's Lake Michigan, played soccer together and hung out with each other. They have, she said, a special connection.

But when it came time to choose colleges, they went in different directions. He went to Boston University while Bridget chose Old Dominion University.

"We both sailed and we had a similar group of friends, but we just decided we wanted to be on our own for college," she said.
