BLIND DATE
PICNIC
Clark Winrotte (EnE’79) and
Janet (Smith) Winrotte (HHS’79, MS HHS’87)
Sunday, October 17, 1976—mutual friends arranged a blind
date picnic after church in Hort Park. We were both involved
in Purdue Christian Campus House, but we had never met.
We began enjoying each other’s company from that day
on. Clark knew if he wanted to see me, he would have to
find me in the library; after studying, we would enjoy a walk
on campus. He still jokes that he only made it through the
engineering program because he had to comply with my
study habits! My father was rather old-fashioned and said
we couldn’t be married until I finished college. We graduated
in the same ceremony on Sunday, May 13, 1979, and were
married 13 days later. —JANET WINROT TE
LOVE ON THE
45-YARD LINE
Tracy Hine-Bullion (LA’85)
and Dale Bullion (IE’87)
We literally ran into each other on the 45-yard line as
members of the “All-American” Marching Band. I was
a senior, and Dale was a sophomore. We balanced each
other out so well. Some thought we would never make
it, but we celebrated 35 years of marriage on May 31
and have two children who are Boilermakers. It’s been
a crazy ride, but without Purdue, we wouldn’t be the
couple we are. —TRACY HINE-BULLION
