Sandra (Shadle) `78 and Gene Wilson `76

Sandra (Shadle) `78 and Gene Wilson `76

Gene and I met at Malone in the blizzard of 1974! There was a 24 inch snowstorm at the beginning of December term. Since classes could not get started for 3 days there was lots of time for snow fun. We met during a snowball fight on campus, then started spending time together decorating dorms for Christmas, going for walks in the snow and having dinner together. Our 1st date was going to a Hanukkah service for 'Christ and Culture' class followed by a James Bond movie on campus on Friday December 13! The beginning of a life long love. We got married September 2, 1978 and have been married for over 43 years.

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.
