Ten Longhorns who met as freshmen at UT in 1997 reunited to collectively celebrate their 40th birthdays on the Forty Acres. Best friends, bridesmaids, and now mothers to a combined 24 children, they returned to their favorite city in September 2019, and found not much had changed. They still treasured their Longhorns, their Tex-Mex, and most importantly, their bond as friends.
