You never know when you might bump into a fellow alum, no matter where you are in the world! Recently, alumni were spotted in:Turkey
Jim Hughes ′58 rang in 2012 with Bob Colburn ′58, his travel companion, during a one-week adventure in Turkey. Bob explored Cappadocia in central Turkey via hot air balloon while Jim preferred touring Turkish attractions from the ground. The classmates stopped in the city of Konya to visit the mausoleum of the Sufi mystic and poet, Mevlana, better known in the West simply as "Rumi." Jim and Bob also saw the whirling dervishes and visited the natural and historic site of Pamukkale, the ancient city of Ephesus, the resort town of Kusadasi, Istanbul's New Year’s fireworks, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
The Island of Anguilla
In late February, Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations Lorraine Kenton Polvinale ′69 P′98 and her husband, Tom ′70, visited their friends, Sallie Moniot Lilienthal ’70 and her husband, Pete, at their Caribbean home in Anguilla. While spending a wonderful week in paradise, the group had lunch one day at the lovely, beachfront Italian restaurant owned by fellow alumnus, Alan Piazzi ′86. What are the chances four WC alumni would be on the small island of Anguilla at the same time? Pretty good!
