Reunion: 1981–82 Ogg Hall House Fellows

Profound moments, some toasts, much laughter, a few tears, more than a few beers, plenty of reminiscences, and lots of love filled the Pewaukee, Wisconsin, home of Mitch and Maria Olig when they hosted the group on August 6–7. The old friends and their families have gathered in various Wisconsin spots during the decades following their memorable year together in (old) Ogg Hall while moving through the phases of babies in arms, building careers, empty nests, and losing parents. Several of their children are Badgers as well. The former house fellows (marked with asterisks) now tease and support each other through a Facebook group.

Seated, left to right, are: Kathleen Stebbins Hintz* ’84, JD’93; Mitch Olig* ’90; and Karen Pauls Christensen* ’84. Standing, left to right, are: Kathy Bohn, Chip Flesher, Tom Bohn* ’85, Cathy Bill Flesher* ’83, Kevin Carroll* ’84, Don Schutt* ’83, Paula Wagner Apfelbach ’83, Eric Apfelbach* ’84, Maria Hare Olig ’85, and Tom Christensen ’83. Sorely missed were Gretchen Daub Westman* ’83; David Tuttle* ’83; Donna Tuttle; Sarah Schutt; Howard Hintz; Jane Vinopal Carroll ’84, JD’87; Kathy Kamps Houston ’84; and Bill Houston.
