Déjà Vu All Over Again—Almost
Reunion Homecoming has many immutable traditions, but it's often something unplanned that sets an event apart. This past October, it was a Friday night power outage, which didn't dim spirits one watt, and the rescheduling of the Saturday afternoon football game to nighttime, lending a cocktail-hour ambience to tailgates.
On a more serious note, the President's Roundtable, moderated by TV interviewer Charlie Rose, drew crowds to an especially timely discussion on how the country might regain economic health. Classes Without Quizzes covered fields from art to zoology.
About 7,500 alumni and guests enjoyed Reunion favorites like Dinner on the Quad (1), while groups such as the Class of '59 Dollies (2) staged minireunions.
Among the youngest generation in attendance were the sons of Paul Yee, '94, MBA '99, and Margaret (Wang) Yee, '94, MA '95 (3) and those of Cathie Wilson Dodge, '94 (6).
Another returning Class of '59er was John Breck Tostevin, joined by Nancy (Patton) Tostevin, '60 (4). Celebrating their 20th were '89ers Kim Clever Michaud, Jill Einstein, Christine Tebben, Chris Zaino, MA '90, and Suzanne Rehmus-Zaino, MA '90 (5).
From the next decade, Dan Goldman, '94, MS '95, Natausha Wilson, '98, and Kevin Lemons, '99, exchanged greetings (7), while alums from Class of 2007 met up at the tailgate for recent grads (8).
