I attended this event for my area just yesterday, and it was rather refreshing to know that other Valpo alumni live in my area (around 20 alumni showed up, with knowledge that around 150 live in DFW). I had previously thought my wife & I were the only ones, after I dragged her down here after college. I remember checking the phone directory each year while in school to see how many Texans were at Valpo. There usually were between 10-12, with only 1 person being from DFW during my 5 years in school (red-shirted my first year after elbow surgery, so I took on another major).
It was also nice to see that 4 soon-to-be-FR attended the event, and seemed rather excited about the adventure they were embarking on.
Does anyone else attend these events in their area outside of Valpo? It was good to have people around again who knew the history of the school as I do. I have found that many people down here know of Valpo in sports, as well as its academics, but it is always good to reconnect.
