Has it really been over five years since our our 40th?  Hard to believe, yet our 45th is already in our rear-view mirror!! 


 

How do we fit 600+ of us into a group photo?

"Reunion 2004 was a BLAST! We had over 50 classmates attend  the various events. With their wives and families, our class was out-represented only by the 50-year Class of ’54. Congratulations to Mike Wellner  and his committee for a job well done. We entertained the crowd lining the route of the Parade of Classes with a rollicking rendition of The Beatles’ “When I’m Sixty-Four,” starring Mike and three classmates sporting Beatle wigs (for which we were awarded the “Bad Hair” award).  We were honored to have President Jackson and her husband attend only our class dinner. Of course, it helped that Vice President David Haviland  and Dr. Myles Brand, the president of the NCAA, were also there from our class. As Dr. Jackson said when introducing Dr. Brand as our keynote speaker; “We have Myles to go before we sleep!” My wife and I had a good time schmoozing with my old roomie, Robert Page Shaffer, and an old friend from high school years, Donald Breismeister  and a new friend, Nicholas Perakis and their spouses.  I noticed that an overwhelming number of the Class of ’64 attendees at Reunion 2004 were architects. Maybe it was that fifth year that did it! A list of attendees was posted on our class  -  reported by John Shahdanian

We had 3 major elements for a successful reunion - pick the phase that interests you!
