Alumni World Tour Part 121 - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Two-thirds of our graduates live in Michigan.  One-third do not, and when I travel, I try to make contact with alums who live in the city that I am visiting.
Last week, I held an alumni gathering in Minneapolis at the Minneapolis Hilton.  Based upon our database, there are about 25 grads living in the Twin Cities, and on this night, 15 of them gathered together to laugh, network, and reconnect with their alma mater and their brother grads.  As usual, there was a wide span of graduates in attendance - Tom Lelich '72 was the "senior" member of the group, while Joe Bahoora and Brett Heberer 2003 were the youngsters.  John Luke '78 is the manager of the Hilton and as you can imagine he did a great job of setting up the venue and ensuring quality service from the wait staff!

We had a great time. I really enjoyed myself and was glad to reconnect with so many alums. The Twin Cities are beautiful and warm in June....don't expect to return for a winter alumni event anytime soon!!!
