Catching Up
Dale Leslie (1974)
Dale R. Leslie (1974) writes, November 25, 1977- 30 years ago- my life changed dramatically; I was married!
Actually, my wife (Linda) proposed to me because I hadn't gotten around to it. Our union resulted in the birth of two boys (now young men), Drew and Graham. (In my job, I search names. And out of about 1,000 names, I 've had 1 Graham.)

Drew, 28, is a doctoral candidate in Music Performance (trombone) at the U of Texas-Austin. Graham (26), a graduate of Michigan State University and a former member of the Spartan Marching Band, is in Austin looking for employment. Music has been a blessing to our family and a lasting credit to my wife, who is a pianist. I play the important role of the audience! I traveled to China (and stood on the Great Wall) in 2001 and my dad (Richard) just celebrated his 90th birthday! Go Bobcats!"
