November 23, 2012! We brought it back to where it all began. Aproximately 35 of us gathered in the Randolph campus Dining Hall, after walking down the Sophomore hallway with our class timeline proudly displayed. The group, which included classmates and significant others, caught up on memories, got a few laughs over old pictures and reminisced about Junior Retreat—the blown-up class photo helped, right?! Recent marriages, engagements, job changes, education milestones, and moves to new cities were some of the discussions overheard. It was great to see so many out-of-towners in town for the Thanksgiving weekend. A special thanks to the hard working Reunion committee for putting on such a great event! Here’s to the next five when we gather again.” Becky Alper and her
husband, Raja Viswanathan, moved from Minneapolis to Munich in September. She is attending the Technical University of Munich for a master’s degree in transportation systems. “If there are any SPA alums in Munich, please get in touch—beckyalper@ gmail.com,” she writes. Dandelion Kitchen, the food truck run by Alexander Brand and Natalie Coleman, was the Friday featured food truck on CBS Minnesota’s Curiocity. The truck opened in the summer of 2010 and can be found weekdays in downtown Minneapolis.
