In the fall of 1977, Ann headed back to college at Indiana University in Bloomington. “She was an incoming junior,” Scott said. “Both of her parents attended IU and her father went to law school there, so there was some familiarity there,” Scott said. “She had grown up going to campus and going to see games.”
