Memories of Alnwick

Nancy Hellander Pung ’90, Robbinsdale, Minn., Alnwick 1987

I have so many wonderful memories of Alnwick, it's impossible to pick one so here are a few: A bunch of us rented a van and drove to London to see U2, Neil Young and the Pogues at Wembley Stadium; Steve Klepetar's British Romantics Literature class; Christine's fencing class; eating shortbread at Marjorie's house; looking at the "Great Wind Sill" with Gary (the geology professor); and my wonderful homestay mother, Eunice Anderson, who shared her lovely region with me, along with her love of nature and flowers. The Alnwick study abroad program also taught me the importance of living simply.

I'll never forget how freeing and exhilarating it was to be able to carry all of my life's possessions on my back!

Thanks for the opportunity to relive some wonderful memories of that time almost 20 years ago! Gasp!
