Deverie was the reason that I came to Beloit.  I had known Deverie and her entire family throughout high school as they were are the center of the peace vigiils held in Ridgewood, NJ. I toured colleges my junior year of high school as I prepared to be an exchange student for my senior year, but I had not heard of Beloit.When I went to Belgium, I head from friends, many of whom were already at college, and Deverie could not stop raving about Beloit, so I wrote to my mother to send me an application, which I typed out on a manual typewriter with a French/Flemish keyboard.  

Once at Beloit, Deverie eased my way as I watched her folk dance on the quad and visited her at the house she shared off campus. Will contends that is where he first met me, so perhaps she is also somewhat responsible for my marriage.
