Thanks for including the pictures of John Cole ’49, ’51 and Mary Cole ’53 in the fall 2016 Och Tamale. For some reason, Mary and I were in a home economics class, I think. I was a music major, so we didn’t have much to do with each other; but, there are two things I remember about [John and Mary]: First, Mary was making a red and white shirt for John, and she was changing the color of thread as the color of the material changed. Wow! … I think of concentration and/or intention. Maybe “true love.” The endurance of their marriage would indicate the latter. Second, John had a superior mind and a marvelous speaking voice, and he made a campaign speech to the student body one morning. I believe he won based on the ideas he expressed and the way he voiced them. Thanks for all you do keeping up with us OLD people.
Warm regards,
Sylvia Schutz DeVoss ’51
Dear Editors/Writers:
Have I changed, or have you? I found the spring 2016 issue to be fascinating on EVERY page! I’ve usually gone to my class page, ’62, and often not read much else, or just one article here and there. This time, I could hardly put the magazine down! Each article was so well and interestingly written. The photos are just so engaging! Love the cover and the story of Team Jasmine. I finally felt that I have a “feel for” my dear old U of R rather than some highly academic bragging, which is how I casually characterize how I used
to feel about Och Tamale.
I say to whoever is in charge, keep it up and thank you!!!

Imagine my surprise when I got a text from a college roommate, Marla Maddock ’82, that I was in Och Tamale. The History Mystery photo is of me in front, Barbara Nelson ’81 right behind me, and Dee Kaleo ’83 on the far right. What a kick! It was a piece we did for a dance concert when there was a dance minor on campus.
