Julie makes a new friend

Julie and Reno Lovison decided to take a quick trip downstate to visit some friends and family, beginning with a rendezvous at the family farm of a former Millikin roommate and lifelong friend in Vermillion County. Julie Lovison director of the Lake Shore Music Studio in Chicago is a Millikin University Music Education graduate who studied with Margaret Peterson and also taught in the Millikin music prep department for one year following her graduation.

Checking out the practice rooms

Since the trip included heading west through Decatur to Springfield to see the Lincoln Museum it seemed like a perfect opportunity to visit the Millikin campus to relive old memories and see the significant architectural changes.
