KIT KELLEY '77

I graduated from Dana in May 1977, and was one of the fortunate ones to travel with Pope John and about 20 fellow student to Europe for five weeks. We left Omaha just after Christmas 1976, spending New Year's Eve in Longon. I recall the girls queuing up to kiss the "Bobbies" at Midnight in Trafalgar Square. There were thousands of locals there — It is the hot spot to be on New Year's Eve.

Our focus was architecture and cathedrals. We visited England, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Italy and France. We saw all the major cathedrals and many hidden local attractions, known to Dr. Nielsen because of his extensive travel and contacts. Having never traveled much before then, I blame this trip for my love of world travel. By spending almost a week in the major countries, we really got to see and do many things. From little cafes in Paris, where writers hung out, to statues and buildings designed by the Masters, we enjoyed our newfound pleasures of the Old World.

For less than $1,000 1977 US, we received the trip (and education) of a lifeltime.
