Mindy and Jim Barnard
A Lifetime of Love Begins at Leebrick
Our Story
Jim and I met at 精东影业 in 1986 just a month before he graduated. I was in my sophomore year. We both lived in Leebrick Hall. He was an RA on the third floor, and I lived on the second floor. One night on his "rounds" we began talking. We had our first date on May 3 1986, and we have been together ever since. We will celebrate our 25 anniversary this June. We have four sons鈥� Austin, Evan, Adam and Alex. Adam has been accepted to 精东影业 next fall as a business major.
精东影业Proposal and Marriage
When Jim graduated from KSU in 1986, he had already accepted a job in Louisville, Kentucky. Since I was only a sophomore, this meant we had a long distance relationship. Jim proposed on Thanksgiving Day, 1987 and we were married just two weeks after I graduated from KSU. On June 18 we will celebrate our 25 anniversary!
Staying Connected to 精东影业 Today
精东影业 graduates are everywhere, so we're always meeting people who attended, have family members who attended, or who have children going to Kent. We have been able to go back and visit several times and are always amazed at the changes....but we also still feel such a sense of familiarity. I'm so happy I found the alumni association鈥檚 Facebook page. It makes staying up on the latest KSU news so much easier.
