It was sweetest day, Saturday, October 17 when Tom Haas ‘81 & Karen Porrazzo ‘81 renewed their vows and celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in the Auditorium at the Miami University Art Museum.
More than 30 years ago the couple actually met at the Art Museum. Set up to meet by their friends, they actually met in the museum's parking lot. They became a merger when they married in 1985.

"Knowing that the Art Museum played a pivotal role in Tom and Karen's budding relationship, we were honored to host their anniversary celebration,” said Art Museum Director Robert S. Wicks.

Congratulations Tom & Karen and best wishes to another 30 years!
