TESTIMONIALS

“There is nothing to compare to standing on the spot where history began, accompanied by Professor Crenshaw, who connected the past to the present so very well. Lifetime learning indeed!” – Mark ’65, P’91 and Lisa Edmiston P’91 (ISSUE 1 2009)

“Sleeping under the stars, watching moonlight shadows on the canyon walls, was the capstone to days spent amidst frothing water and desert sands.” – Alan Van Egmond ’71, on Wesleyan’s Arizona Rafting Trip. (ISSUE 4 2008)

“Cruising Norway’s fjords on that sunny, warm June day was overwhelming. The serenity of tiny farmhouses at the foot of snowcapped mountains was unforgettable.” – Dick Gibbons ’49, P’77, P’87 (ISSUE 3 2008)

“It was so romantic to be up on the deck each morning and to see those tall sails glistening. One night we even watched the 1935 version of Mutiny on the Bounty projected on a sail. I’d love to go back to Tahiti and have been rereading Melville.” – Bob Sayre ’55 (ISSUE 2 2008)

“I enjoyed the energy of the Wesleyan group and how heterogeneous we were, with alumni from the ’50s, ’60s,’70s, ’80s and beyond–all with unique world views, which provided interesting ongoing discussions. Now Myra is asking, ‘Where are we going next?’” – Charlie ’59 and Myra Wrubel, P’84, P’89 (ISSUE 3 2007)

“Ronna and I have discovered that Wesleyan alumni trips are an incredible way to have a holiday. The?well-planned tours, attractive destinations, and new–and sometimes old–Wesleyan friends is a combination that is hard to beat.” – Ronna P’06 and Larry Davis ’76, P ’06 (ISSUE 2 2007)

“We had time on the boat trip to talk, to think about the discussion and then come back to the conversation. Everyone did a lot of reading. It felt as though we were back at Wesleyan again. It was an enlivening, enthusiastic, intellectual atmosphere.” – Dr. Joseph Buchman ’53 (ISSUE 4 2006)
