Illini Experience
Orange in front of the blue Amy Acheson Durukan '93 LAS, daughter Erin and husband Ata '93 LAS stand in front of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul on Oct. 22, 2011, during a family vacation. A few days earlier, the trio observed former Fighting Illini basketball guard Deron Williams '04 having lunch at an Istanbul restaurant. Williams is playing professionally for Besiktas J.K. during the NBA lockout. "We didn't disturb Deron," Amy said of the experience, "but did walk past him twice!"
