ce and working with

Even down South there was a large contingent of
fans with their eyes on the SLU-Clarkson rivalry.
Chelsea said that 22 SLU fans and 30 Clarkson
fans got together at TJ’s Sports Bar to watch one
of the men’s hockey games. The group consisted
of family, friends and alumni from the classes of
’59 to ’10. It was such a successful event that the
group is already planning another get-together
for this summer.
Chelsea is living in Greenville, S.C., with her -
ancé, David Lloyd ’08. She also gets together with
her former roommate,
Morganne Wheeler
, who
is also living in Greenville. She said she attended a
Greenville Road Warriors hockey game.
Je Cais-

Stingrays, which Derek Keller plays for. Chelsea
said it has been fun running into so many alumni
from our class. She is looking forward to seeing
more Laurentians at
Samantha Joudoin
’s wed-
ding in September.

WhyWe Don’t Trust Spellcheck
“I did a nd/replace on ‘Anth’ to Anthropology while cleaning up the major designa-
tions in the Commencement program, because our database truncates them. Before
going to press we found eight students named Samantha that had been changed to
Samanthropology.” —Kevin MacKenzie, assistant registrar
