   Burnaby South grads and longtime SFU faculty members Lindsay Meredith, Craig Asmundson and Barry Beyerstein reflect on their years at the university.
   ...
   But if you ask business professor Lindsay Meredith, psychology professor Barry Beyerstein or kinesiology lecturer Craig Asmundson, who graduated together from Burnaby South senior secondary school, they'd do it all over again.
   ...
   Asmundson chose SFU over UBC so he could remain closer to home and take advantage of what the new place had to offer.
   
   "It was exciting to have that choice, coming right out of high school," he says.
   
   After four semesters, he left SFU and worked at a variety of jobs, then returned.
   
   He graduated in 1972 and went on to complete his master's degree in kinesiology.
   
   A few years later he was hired as a lecturer, though never having any long-range plans to stay beyond getting his degree.
   
   "I just fell into things," he says.
   
   The three boys from Burnaby South, all now residents of Coquitlam, have been more than just regular faculty employees at SFU.
   
   Each has won a major award for service to the university.
   
   Beyerstein and Meredith have received the president's award for service in media and public relations, while Asmundson received the C.D. Nelson award for his contributions outside of academia.
