Des Moines Area Outfly Host, Rachelle Johnson '92

Vince (’90) and I truly enjoyed hosting the Des Moines Outfly event at Raccoon River Park on August 13. The weather was beautiful and so was the location. We saw a few old friends and met lots of new ones. Our 10-year-old son Grant met a new friend, Julian Castillo (11-year-old son of a classmate of mine, Jody Godfrey Castillo ’92) and the two boys have made plans to get together in the future!

David Van Ahn and his wife brought a prospective Wartburger to the picnic, Sam, which I thought was quite impressive! Hopefully Sam was impressed as well. Way to go David! David and I met earlier last year at a Commission on Mission summit meeting and we recognized each other right away. That’s the thing about Wartburg – once the connection is made, it’s there forever.

Thanks to the Alumni office staff for your stellar organizational skills as always – the whole thing went off without a hitch. We can’t wait for next year!
