"I attended my husband's 50th reunion in 2004. We had an incredible time, miles above our highest expectations. We are still smiling and reliving the great experiences of reconnecting with Macalester, old pals and memories. Our reunion is coming up. Mark your calendars and make it number one on your priority list. It is absolutely a once in a lifetime experience."
