Renkoski-Lidgett: Nicholas '07 and Liz '07 To be married: October 16,2010 We met our senior year at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, IA. We bonded over many things but the fact we both were going to Mizzou in the Fall was exciting.   
Renkoski-Lidgett: Nicholas '07 and Liz '07 To be married: October 16, 2010 Over our four years there together we loved tailgating and football, sorority events, and especially Homecoming events every year.
