44 WINTER 2017 44 WINTER 2017 Who meant everything to you at TCNJ? (cont. from page 1) Nikki and Shawn Nicole "Nikki" Gentile '09 It all started fall of sophomore year when I walked past Eickhoff thinking, "Who is that girl who looks just like me?" Little did I know, my freshman doppelgänger was thinking, "I want a hot-pink pea coat like that girl so we can match and really be twins!" Nikki soon joined my sorority, Kappa Delta. She has been my best friend, my sounding board, my maid of honor; we've gone through grad school, medical school, surgeries, breakups, and more. She's taught me that those who mean the most to you in college can be those who mean the most to you for life. —SHAWN McCALL SHERIDAN '08 Deana and Bob Kozlowski '03 Freshman year I was lonely and homesick and beginning to regret my choice of living away from home when Bobby, the guy in the room across the hall, asked me to go for a walk around campus. Seventeen years later, we are still best friends with a happy marriage and an amazing son. My husband, Bobby, is my cheerleader, my shoulder to cry on, my happy place. I am grateful for that walk and this man every day. —DEANA KOZLOWSKI '03 Virginia Ann Roberts, professor emerita I was so very fortunate to have had her as my undergraduate advisor in speech-language pathology. She was a terrific person and had a great sense of humor, which made her so easy to be around. Thanks to her, I earned my doctoral degree. —MARGARET M. LASKOWSKI '77 [Roberts died in 2016.] Margaret and Virginia Jan Graver '68 Jan and I met freshman year through Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. At her gracious suggestion, we roomed together the next two years and formed a bond through our common majors and Christian faith that has lasted nearly 50 years! Both retired from teaching, we recently got together to celebrate our month-apart birthdays. Whenever we talk, we just pick up where we left off. Thanks for the memories, TSC. —DIANE E.
