Carls who go to union are overwhelmingly glad they did. Here's what some of them have said:

"Sheila and I have attended several of the reunions over the years and have always enjoyed the chance to see classmates again.  I particularly enjoyed a presentation where Candace Kohl brought some meteorites she had collected in Antarctica and gave us all a chance to hold pieces of the moon and of Mars in our hands." Mitch Cumberworth   

"Come on, take a chance! How many more years do you have to travel comfortably and meet up with old friends?" Sheila Murnane Cumberworth

"Pres. Oden, Jim Pryor, and Bardwell Smith were excellent.  I wish I could have attended all the programs!" Jim  Santelli

"[My favorite parts of the weekend were the] beautiful look of the campus in wonderful weather and the many opportunities to talk with classmates."  Bob Newman.

"The Alumni Choir is one of my favorite and most enjoyable activities. . . .I love to see the college again and learn about all the new things going on there, catch up with friends, and hear the excellent faculty and alumni speakers."  Paul Isaacson

"We actrually found it fun to be in the dorms again. . . .We enjoyed having interesting things to do with enough time to wander old haunts."  Susan (Retrum) Bergner.

"In 2004, on the way to reunion I almost turned the car around 20 minutes out.  That would have been a big mistake.  At reunion I discovered how much of a Carl I am.  And I discovered how much I value my classmates.  Old acquaintances became friends, and old friends became dear friends.  And now here I am, looking forward to seeing as  many of you as possible next June."  Robin Jaeckle Grawe
