Liz Stewart Maurage '84 visits campus

Liz has lived for the past 19 years just north of Paris in the quaint town of Bovelles. She and her husband, Francois, have two children ages 6 and 8, and Liz teaches English at a local engineering college. We have plans to set up a regular Skype conversation in English and French for some of her students and some of our advanced French students.

When Liz came home to visit her parents recently, I invited her to join Dave and me for lunch and a long stroll down memory lane. Liz was sorry to have missed Dave's retirement party in May, but they used our lunch together to quickly catch up and talk about her important role in our athletic program of the late 70's and early 80's. Dave referred to Liz as a consummate athlete who was always a solid performer in cross-country (Cross-country athlete of the year in 1981), track, basketball and swimming.

Liz has fond memories of Crystal in those days and looks forward to a return visit in February.
