Knolls of Oxford draws retirees to college town

By Caroline Nourse, Redhawk Report

When people think of Oxford, they think "college town."

However, located just a couple miles from uptown, the Knolls of Oxford is a retirement community that maintains a strong bond with Miami University.

According to the facility's Web site, in 2007 Topretirements.com rated Oxford as the number 4 place to retire in Ohio, so it should come as no surprise that the residents come from near and far to retire here.

(Oxford) For many students, finding their future spouse while at Miami is not an uncommon thing. Nearly 15 percent of Miami University alumni marry one another, becoming part of a trend in which they become known as a "Miami Merger."

To honor these couples, the university set out last summer to break the world record for the most couples renewing their wedding vows at once. The 'Merger Moment' ceremony took place last June at Upham Arch.

Brendan Burke remembered fondly

(Oxford)  The bench at the Goggin Ice Arena was noticeably missing someone this week. The Miami Men’s Hockey team resumed practice a day after returning from the funeral of their student manager, Brendan Burke, who died Friday, February 5th in a car accident in Indiana. Brendan was a senior political science major who had been a member of the hockey team for four years. While understandably playing with heavy hearts, the team plans to never forget what Brendan brought to those he met.
