Centralight

We are Central: Andrew Flory, Freshman Brad Flory, ���80 Marylyn Flory, ���59 M.A. ���76 A three-generation Central family How is CMU related to the idea of love for you? Marylyn: This is where my family started. The day I registered, I got pregnant [son Brad was raised in CMU���s married housing complex with his parents], and then I went through my whole senior year again pregnant. My family is rooted here. Andrew (Marylyn���s grandson): I can���t help but think about how my parents met here and how my grandparents went here, and they���re my two biggest examples of love. Brad (Marylyn���s son): This is where I met my wife, Candace. It almost seems like we���re still college kids, because that���s how we started. How did you meet? Andrew, interrupting: At the Wayside! Brad: No, it wasn���t the Wayside. It was my senior year. She lived in Larzelere, and I lived across the street in what���s now His House. We had some mutual friends across the street, and we started dating. Have you heard this story before, Andrew? Andrew: I know enough to know he really is cleaning this up a bit. How much do you have in common with your grandma? Marylyn: I���ll tell you how much we have in common ��� Andrew and his college friends took me out to the casino the other night. How has CMU changed since you were here? Marylyn: I am blown away when I walk into Andrew���s dorm and his girlfriend lives across the hall. When I was here, it would be, ���Marylyn, you have a caller in the lobby.��� ��� And I think those are good changes. ��� 40 centralight spring ���13
