With flowers in bloom and weddings abounding, summer seemed the perfect time to talk with some of our alumni couples.

From how they met to the role Wittenberg has played in their lives, 11 couples share their stories.

Ruth Kunkel Bayley, ’42, knows a secret. She discovered it soon after she and her husband, Robert Bayley, ’39, said “I do” 38 years after they first met on the walkway between Blair and Recitation Halls.

Back then she was a freshman; he was a senior.“He had a twinkle in his eye and a smile for everyone,” Ruth remembers of that 1939 fall day when they first saw each other on campus. “I took notice.”
