"Susan Wilkes, a 1983 alumna of the University of Maryland, plans to be on campus this week for an activity she hasn't yet told her husband about.
It's nothing scandalous, but it could involve a large transaction of money.
Wilkes, 45, said she expects to bid at one of the silent and live auctions on Thursday for Fear the Turtle terrapin sculptures that have graced spots around the campus, the state and Washington, D.C., since last spring.
The 50 sculptures - decorated by 50 different artists - celebrate the university's 150th anniversary."
