Sosa's Next Catchers? With the Chicago Cubs in spring training, the scores of alumni fans who cheered at last summer's Illini Day at Wrigley Field have some snow to melt before their next Cubs/Illini experience.
			The Cold and the Curious During his Alaskan tour last summer, Hugh H. Connolly '48 ENG, MS '49 ENG, got a taste of mushing at the Norris Glacier. Here, he thanks these Iditarod Race veterans for the great ride.
Serendipity Squared Grandparents Ronald '61 BUS, LLB '63 LAW, and Karen Julander Klein '62 LAS welcomed two sets of future Illini when their children Michael Klein '91 LAS, JD '94 LAW, and Jennifer Klein VandeWiele '93 LAS, JD '96 LAW (wife of Matt VandeWiele '93 ENG, MS '95 ENG), each had twins — within eight months of each other! Pictured: Tyler, Alexandra and Christina Klein and Ryan and Mark VandeWiele.
