Twin Cities Alumni Gathering  

A great time was had by all at the Alumni gathering in late March.  Cries of "When can we do this again?" rang out.  It was a great time to reconnect with friends and meet new friends.  We had alumni from the class of '66 though '04!

Here, Karissa Kujak Noll ' 04, Johann Luecke '02, John Piscitiello '93, Jenny Arnold Rutz '03 and Josh Rutz (honorary Rambler) celebrate their time together.
