On May 11-13,  about a dozen Half Century alumni (graduates from the 1970’s) convened in Madison for a weekend of activities, including walking in the graduate commencement ceremonies, Friday, May 12 at the Kohl Center. A good time was had by all. The weekend began on the Memorial Union terrace and ended with a lunch at Porta Bella, one of the few restaurants that still exists from that era. A good time was enjoyed by all.
