I’s on the World: North to Alaska!

Oh, the places we go … University of Illinois alumni are globetrotters who travel near and far, but never forget their Alma Mater!

Friends Rich Schroeder, ’77 BUS, Janet (Dalrymple) Schroeder, ’76 ED, and Janet Kocal, ’78 LAS, explored all that Alaska’s Denali State Park had to offer. The trio enjoyed kayaking and dogsledding, as well as a helicopter flight and a lush rain forest hike. Rich reminisced about the huge, abundant flowers and vivid sunsets well after 11 p.m., adding… “We would go again in a heartbeat.”
