She noted that she and her husband live in California, have travelled throughout the world and enjoy participating in activities at the University of Cali - fornia – San Diego working with foreign scholars learning English. She got me thinking about how oen people who are retired say they are busier than ever. One person I ran into recently is Calvin Grayson ’54, a former Kentucky commissioner of transporta - tion and director of the UK Transportation Research Center. He’s had a remarkable career, over - seeing construction of much of Kentucky’s interstate and parkway system and serving on university, state, and federal committees. He should be in Class Notes and so should you. is is not an age thing, either. You remember the roommates and friends that were an integral part of your college days, whether you just graduated or graduated 50 years ago with the Class of 1958 and are planning to return to campus for the Golden Wildcat Society Reunion Oct. 16 – 19. So much of the rest of your life happens when you are a college student. You can keep that con - nection forever. Here are some of the ways the UK Alumni Association offers opportunities to stay connected: • Kentucky Alumni is the magazine for members of the UK Alumni Association. • eAlumWise is the monthly newsletter about UK, UK sports, alumni news and upcoming events. • e UK Alumni Club network has UK alumni living around the world gathering locally for Kentucky Derby parties, game watches, community service projects and excursions to local restaurants. • New clubs are forming in Milwaukee, Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul), New York City, St. Louis, Greenville and Charleston, S.C., Knoxville, Tenn., Jacksonville and South Florida (Miami – Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) and could use more volunteers. (Hint: More volunteers, more fun, less work!) • e Legacy Initiative allows you to register your newborn; we’ll send him or her a Wildcat bib and other milestone birthday gis. By identifying your second, third, or fourth genera - tion student attending UK, you get them on the invitation list for Legacy events throughout the year. If you are an out-of-state alum, check out the Legacy tuition assistance opportunity. • is our social/professional online community with friends of friends of friends and discussion groups. All of this is available online at www.ukalumni.net where you can update your record; give us your current e-mail address (your college would like to contact you, too, with special information about programs and classmates); connect with your area club Web page and the alumni events cal - endar and more. Send me your Class Note. See you online, www.ukalumni.net Investment Insight for Every Generation Since 1854 SM Making certain your wealth pays its most important dividend: peace of mind.
