TIED TO TARTAN: I made close, lifelong friendships while at Wooster that I carry with me to this day. In fact, during this year of the pandemic, regular zoom calls with a group of my Wooster classmates helped me maintain a social life. Periodically attending reunions is another way I remain connected with the college. The year of my 20th reunion, I was living in Jerusalem so flew back to the US just for that reunion weekend. It really was one of the most memorable weekends of my life….
