Memories
Watching game from sky box, meeting a friend. Kay Kuester Doran ’57
Rose Bowl: winning the dance contest. Mary Beth Kuester ’60, MS’74
College Game Day on Bascom Hill. I was holding a sign that said, “Marry me Bucky,” and Bucky came over, took my hand, and got down on one knee! Of course, every football Saturday was filled with great memories! On Wisconsin! Emily Duncanson ’12
