From Greta & Mark Pedersen

Mark remembers a very tenacious Diane holding her own with the guys on the noon-time basketball pick-up games in Maples Pavilion.

I remember the story of Diane on the ski trip Freshman year. When she put her long hair in pigtails and put on a W-I-D-E grin, she could pass for young enough to get the youth discount on the ski lifts. If no one from the dorm stood beside her!  And I remember the surprise and delight when Diane turned out to be my roommate Winter Quarter junior year. We had both taken Fall quarter off and it was simply luck we were together! I remember studying and studying….. meanwhile Diane studied, and took breaks shooting baskets. I could see her from our window.  Smart woman!  Of course, she did much better than I!  Before Spring quarter, we tried to get into Synergy together.  She got a higher number on the wait-list and was accepted. And due to a room scheduling snafu, she negotiated switching rooms if I could be her roommate.  Bless you, Diane!!

Happy Birthday, Diane!  Lead the way into the 70s!  (Back to the 70s again??!!??).  

Cheers!

Greta
