Deanna (Miller) `88 and David Ray `89

 Deanna (Miller) `88 and David Ray `89


We met in our freshman communications class, and for an interpersonal communication exercise we were randomly matched together. We were given 20 questions to ask of one another, with the 3rd being birthday.

We discovered we have the same exact birthday, same day, same year! (She an hour and a half older.)

We began dating a few months later, and got engaged in then President Gordon Werkema's office! He called Deanna down, as I was already there and said he had been getting a number of concerns about our relationship. He made it clear that it needed to change.

That's when I got on one knee and proposed. We got married after graduation in May of 88, and this year will celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary.

Jennifer (Tubaugh) `94 `01 and Jason Bruce `96

 Jennifer (Tubaugh) `94 `01 and Jason Bruce  `96 While we were both originally from Ohio, we grew up on opposite sides of the state. At Malone, Steve Styer, a mutual friend, convinced Jason to call me. He was sure we were a match! I had noticed Jason across the cafeteria multiple times, so I was pretty excited to get that call! Our first date was spent hanging out in The Barn chatting the evening away. We were together from that point on! Whenever Steve saw us together, he would say, "Ahhhh my creation!" We've been married for 27 1/2 years and have a beautiful 17 year old daughter. I'm so thankful that Steve gave Jason that little nudge to get things started.
