On Wednesday, April 2, 1997, many who have been a part of the Department of Family Social Science as students, staff, and faculty, gathered in McNeal Hall to celebrate. Dorothea Berggren, who had provided nearly 22 years of service to the department, was retiring. It was a time of toasting and cheer, feasting and frolic, memories and tears.
