U OF G Texas alumni reunion drew 24 people to San Antonio March 10. Grads came from Arthur City, Deer Park, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Brownsville and surrounding areas to make the Guelph connection . Ted Freeman, ADA '56, and his wife, Shirley, organized the event, and OAC acting dean Tom Michaels was guest speaker. Those attending were enthusiastic about making the Texas reunion an annual event, so an organizing committee for next year was formed: Elaine Hernandez, Charlotte Kerr Jorgensen, George Sprankle, Paul Bayer, Federico Villamayor and Freeman.
