Auggies and their families gather for a group photo

[L to R]: Derek Francis ’08, Bryan Ludwig ’08, Greg Hildebrandt ’08, and Sama Sandy ’08 brought their families together for an evening of fun earlier this year. The group members tout themselves as the “1107 Family,” named for the number of the room they shared in Mortensen Residence Hall. The Facebook post from their meetup shows how a friendship between four Auggies became a close-knit group of 17.
