Favorite Jay Martin Story
Toby Boucher '88
Wilmington, NC
Jay Martin is the reason I came to Ohio Wesleyan. He did a great job of educating me on the benefits of OWU. His approach was to let his players do the telling. Jay was also my academic advisor.
My favorite story is classic Jay. My roommate was not going to travel on our annual spring lacrosse trip our freshman year. A player got injured and the morning before our trip, Jay called our dorm room at 7 am. I answered the phone and Jay said,
"Ask Charlie (Charlie Blanchard '88) if he's a Boston Celtics fan."
Charlie said yes, and Jay said "Good, tell him he's going on the spring trip," and hung up.
I was fortunate to have had Jay's advice and guidance during my time at OWU. I want to congratulate him on an amazing career and thank him for all he has done for Ohio Wesleyan!
