Bob Barlow P’75 and Cheryl Zajack P’75
"We were in the same class and both lived in Osol Hall, so we "knew" each other since "the beginning." We had all the same classes and had many mutual friends. We also attended many of the same parties, etc. in the dorm. We began dating in the spring of '71. We graduated on May 18, 1975, and got married on May 31, 1975." |

Robert P’96 and Angela (Romanelli) Nace P’97, PharmD’98
"We were both peer counselors together and first met during our training program. At that time, we were both seeing other people and were just friends. About a year later, while Rob was completing a rotation at the VA hospital, we ran into each other on campus. We talked briefly for a few minutes, and then he later called one of my friends to ask if I was seeing anyone. When he was given the green light, he called and asked me on a "date." Not just pizza at Royals, but he made reservations at The Astral Plane in Center City on Friday, October 13, 1995. I thought to myself, if it works out tonight, then it is meant to be. Now, Friday the 13th is our lucky day." |

Keneth P’65 and Selma (Blatnick) Bitz P’65
"We were alphabetically next to one another, and therefore we were lab partners, seated next to one another in lecture halls, in all the small sections together. In those days, everything was done alphabetically. We were destined to be together for the rest of our lives."

Michael P’80 and Kate (Burns) Purzycki BI’83
"Mike and I met during the spring semester of my freshman year. He walked by my table as I was sitting with my friends in the cafeteria (Whitecar Hall at the time). I remember looking up as he walked by and I felt my heart skip a beat! About a week later, Mike stopped by the table to talk to my friends and me. The next day, he asked me for my phone number (he still has that slip of paper with my phone number on it). We went to the movies to see Rocky on our first date. We’ve been together ever since. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for USP. I met the love of my life there." |

"We met at the library. I worked there. Gene asked my roommate about me and then asked me to accompany him to faculty follies. We were good friends, but I was a serious student with no time for "dating" my freshman year. Two years later he asked a friend if I would consider dating again. I said "yes" and the rest is history. We graduated on Wednesday, May 22 and were married on Saturday, May 25." |
