Illini Experience
Illini fun in the sun Allen '73 BUS and Linda Cohn Cassens '70 FAA of Edwardsville, Ill., opened their beautiful Marco Island, Fla., home to host a wonderful reception for Illinois alumni in March 2011. Jim Lukeman, senior director of development at the UI Foundation, helped organize the reception. The group enjoyed hearing tales about everyone's Alma Mater connection, and Jim provided a campus update. A special treat was seeing Chuck '72 ENG and Helen Ruth's 1934 Duesenburgh replica vehicle, seen in this photo.
