Since this was a big secret, we popped champagne, called our friends and family on FaceTime to share the news and enjoyed our pizza. 2020 weddings looked a little different, but it was an incredibly fun and special day!

Dr. Thomas C. Pfizenmaier 76 recently wrote the book For My Daughters: A Father Reflects on Family, Friendship, and Faith, which is currently available on Amazon.com.
There are a number of touch points with the College mentioned along the way, as well as best friends to this day who are alums, he says.
I live in the Seattle area now (recently retired) and there is a small group of MC folks who get together out here a couple of times a year. In addition, my old roommate of three years and fraternity brother, Jeff Laveson 76, Greg Johnson 76 and I hosted a group of Chi Omegas from our time at Jeffs house on Bainbridge Island in the summer of 2019. It was wonderful to see them after so many years.
Marietta had a huge impact on Pfizenmaiers life and the lives of his friends, he says.
For one example, my career path has been a pastor, professor and seminary dean, while Jeffs was a Navy carrier pilot, then lawyer. Weve often talked about how our Marietta liberal arts education teed us up for grad school and our chosen professions.
Dr. Jim Carillon 78 recently completed a book of poetry. This Virgin Page is published by Pisgah Press and available through Amazon.com.

Topics include, among others, exercising body and mind, fostering a newborn child, social justice, family, friends and places I have loved, and writing itself.
Carillon lives in Fairview, North Carolina.
