Karon (Swanson) `69 and LaMar Wyse `68

I earned a few extra dollars in college accompanying voice students. I had my full load for the semester (fall, 1966), but Mrs. Bartlett pleaded with me to take one more -- " this sweet girl with an angelic voice who just transferred to Malone and has no one to accompany her." She introduced us, and I agreed. (Was she actually match-making?) It was strictly an employer/employee relationship, of course.......we were both dating other people. But by the end of the semester that began to change as we sometimes did more talking than practicing. The next semester we began dating and got engaged on Valentine's Day, 1968, exactly 54 years ago. So the relationship evolved from transactional to friendship to romance. And it continues to this day.

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.
