Building on the past. Planning for the future.<br />
The Murphy family has made the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nevada</strong>, <strong>Reno</strong> a family tradition. It all started with<br />
Terence and Karen—both 1985 <strong>Nevada</strong> graduates—taking advantage <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nevada</strong>’s Prepaid Tuition<br />
program for their three children. By building for their future, it has allowed their oldest son to<br />
graduate, with their youngest son set to earn his degree soon and their daughter planning on<br />
attending in Fall 2014. But they’re not stopping there; they hope to keep the tradition alive with<br />
future grandchildren, as well.

<strong>Family</strong>. Friendship. Tradition.<br />
It all comes back to <strong>Nevada</strong>.<br />
They may not have the largest <strong>Nevada</strong> family tree, but the Towle-Yates family’s roots nevertheless<br />
run deep. Thomas Towle started the tradition way back in the 1920s, and it’s one that has been<br />
passed on through the generations. Although family members over the years have been born in<br />
various states throughout the country, they’ve always somehow been drawn back to the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Nevada</strong>. You could even say their alma mater is a member <strong>of</strong> their family now.<br />
How many <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nevada</strong>, <strong>Reno</strong> alumni make<br />
up your family tree? Let us know, and you could all be<br />
featured in an upcoming issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nevada</strong> Silver & Blue.<br />
