	Melissa (left) and her husband Shannon Fancher are all smiles. Both are alumni of the department (and according to Dr. Park Waldroup, he played cupid in a poultry nutrition class, however, later Dr. Waldroup claims he had to keep them separated with a crowbar, which apparently didn't work). Shannon and Melissa brought along their new baby to the picnic.
	John Easley (in fatigues) and his wife Heather and their two children. The Easleys are both alumni of the department.
	Belinda and Russell Mayo, both graduates of the department pose with their children.
