of the times you used to sneakoff-campus, or the last time youleft campus, or maybe the first timeyou cautiously arrived. Put all of thisaside, because now is the chanceto sneak back on campus. You justmight see who has less hair, morewrinkles and possibly more beltloops—myself falling into all ofthese categories—but you’ll have tosee for yourself.Giggles aside, our 25th reunionis upon us, and already there is agreat response from people whohave said they are coming. Nosnitching, but on Friday a cocktailparty will be hosted by your formerpresident, David Gerber, for allclassmates. No dangling chadsabout it, Gerbs has promiseda great gathering. Ahem, partyfavors pending.On Saturday, there will be a generalAssembly (maybe the ‘GleasonBell’ will ring one more time),where our whole class will give theCoggeshall Award, onstage, to DebHarrison. After the Assembly, morerumors are abounding regardingsome ’88 men taking the field for alax game. This is no chillax game,but a full on stick-dropping lacrossegame. And then if you’ve recoveredfrom the Gerbs gathering, or if youmissed it, there will be the highlyanticipated, never avoided graduatesreunion cocktail reception inthe newly renovated (and growing)Castle, followed by dinner in theCastle. No lunchtime leftovers forthis event! They haven’t promisedfor sure but have not not promisedthat there won’t be some of yourclassmates engaging in not-to-bemisseddinnertime entertainment.Hmmm, wonder what this couldbe. But this is only the shallow endof the pool.

Thisisn’t due to a diminution of Nick’sabilities or that he’s gained someweight, or his glasses constantlybreak, or he misplaces his sneakersor racquet or whatever excuse hecomes up with, but it’s more of acombination of all these factors.’”1990Class CorrespondentElena Weiss MacCartee202-882-2132eisabelmac@gmail.com1991Class CorrespondentKelly Doherty Laferrierekdl@snet.netLaurie Harrison writes, “In July2012, my wife, Julie, and I had theincredible experience of welcomingour twins, Ryan Walker Harrisonand Brooklyn Anna Harrison, intothis world.
