R A THE SYRACUSE ESCAPE PLAN N G E p E You couldn't find happier faces than on the Syracuse alumni who traveled through the Grand Canyon on an SU alumni tour last year. With Ellie Ludwig, consul tant to the Office of Alumni Relations (first row center, in black shirt and white shorts), offering her usual brand of Syracuse warmth, their trip was memorable. I t had been quite a trip. Al Komar '50 of Syracuse thought nothing could be more exciting than the natural grandeur experienced during SU's tour through the national A parks. Until the state troopers started searching the buses. "They were looking for an escaped convict," laughs Komar. "The whole area was sealed off and they were checking every vehicle. We knew there was a lot packed L 4 1 Published by SURFACE, 1993 1 Syracuse University Magazine, Vol. 9, Iss. 4 [1993], Art. 8 0 into this tour, but this was a little more than we bargained for." While not every traveler on an SU tour can count on a chase after a desperado, everyone finds something special. Komar, an electronics manufacturer's representative, admitted he had been reluctant to try a tour, having always traveled on R his own. "People are afraid they're going to be herded around," he says, "but this was nothing like that. It was wonderfully relax ing. I didn't have to worry about checking in, handling lug gage, or anything else. This was roughing it made easy." A More and more alumni are choosing to travel with SU because they can count on the high quality of the trips as well as experienced escorts, according to Sue Wlodychak Black, associate director in the Office of Alumni Relations. "We screen our vendors very carefully," Black explains. "We only select tour operators who give our alumni a first-class experience." N For June Vetter Rose '35 the appeal was the opportunity to travel with people of the same educational background. Before he died, her husband accompanied her on several SU trips. "We took the Rhine cruise, toured Switzerland and the Alps, and went to Alaska," says the retired librarian from Bingham G ton, New York. "Then last year a friend and I did the Rhone ACCOMPLISHMENTS cruise and met many interesting people. This year we're going with the Syracuse group to Scandinavia." An avid tennis player, Ross Cosimano '70 really couldn't see himself spending two weeks away from the courts on a cruise. But his wife talked him into it. E "The real attraction was seeing exotic places I'd always heard about, such as Turkey and Russia," says the semiretired Dr. W. Parkman Rankin businessman from Chicago. ''I'd never get on a plane and '41 (NEW) is special assis spend a week in Turkey, but visiting it from on board ship tant to the director of the was perfect."
