Ohler
“ We remember watching music videos on MTV. They used to play music
videos in the Dolan lounge.”
Julie Phillips ’87 was looking through the IWU Freshman Record and highlighting guys she wanted to meet (a sort of catalog shopper). She came across Gary Ohler ’87 and highlighted him as a potential candidate. Her roommate, Heather Scott ’87, recognized Gary from Gen Bio class and made the connection for Julie and Gary to meet one another. Julie called Gary and they talked on the phone for hours before walking across campus to meet! Their relationship grew as they hung out in the DugOut and Dolan lounge. Julie and Gary married April 4, 1987 in Danvers, IL. They have two daughters: Chelsea, 18, is a senior at Normal Community West HS; Courtney, 20, is a sophomore at North Central College in Naperville, IL majoring in theatre performance. Currently, Gary works in the Strategic Marketing department at COUNTRY Financial in Bloomington, IL. Julie works in banking for Regions Financial Corp.
