Happy 60th Birthday, Ellen!

My goodness, how can we possible be this old? I still envision us as we were in the attached photos. Our days at UT were full of friendship, memories, laughs, challenges, studies (well, maybe just you hitting the books), support, tears, and growing up.

You were such a special part of Delta Gamma to me and rooming with you was always full of surprises. Remember bridge games, pledgeship (weren’t we co-pledge prank captains?), big and little sisters, girls climbing in and out of our window, families, sunbathing, sharing clothes, beach trips, and finally, Bubba and your engagement.

I have always considered you one of my closest friends, even though we live far apart and have not been together in many years. You always bring a smile to my face when I think of our shared college years. As the saying goes, thanks for the memories.

May we both remember that life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Let’s both keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits and embrace all the blessings life has bestowed upon us!

Have a very wonderful day and remember, I am still 59!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Malla
